Devotional Reflection

GratitudeHope

This man has been bought back from Satan and the grave and given his life back. What will he do with it? Simple. He will go back to his family and tell them what the Lord has done for him. Isn't that what we need to do with the people in our families who don't believe?

Prayer

Father, thank you for blessing me in my efforts to bring salvation to the members of my family who have not yet confessed Jesus as Lord and surrendered their lives to Him. Rather than pushing them away, I would appreciate your assistance in helping them realize all the ways in which You have enriched my life. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
