Today's Devotional

He has always loved us!

God created us and loved us from the beginning. Before we realized who we were, we were already loved by him. God's love has no physical or spiritual barriers, he has loved us forever!

When we know that we are loved by God - and recognize the proof of love embodied in Jesus - our lives take on a new perspective. We are hit by a wave of gratitude. Then we think: what have we done to receive so much love? If we look for a reason to justify ourselves, we won't find one. God chose to love us because he is God!

We have received his love freely and we must reciprocate it in the same way. Love God unconditionally. Return God's love by loving him. This "two-way street" is called a relationship. To love and be loved, that's the relationship God wants from us.

Here's how to repay God's love:

  • Loving God (1 Chronicles 16:34 and Deuteronomy 6:5)
  • Loving our neighbor (Matthew 22:36-40 and 1 John 4:19-21)
  • Obeying His Word (John 14:15 & John 14:21)
  • Sharing this love (Matthew 28:19-20 & Mark 16:15)
  • Try loving God in all these ways, abide in His love! He loves you and wants to be by your side at all times.

Pray:

Lord, how good it is to be loved by you! Your grace has reached me and I can only thank you for this sublime love. Thank you Father, amen!

Yesterday's Devotional

How can you tell?

"In the Lord I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
“Flee like a bird to your mountain."?"

Psalm 11:1

When the psalmist puts all his trust in God, he is sure that none of his enemies can get away with anything. David, the author of the psalm, doesn't think he's simply unbeatable, just as we shouldn't think that of ourselves, because every day we bear our own evil. But he is writing about God's justice, for he loves the righteous and hates the wicked.

Even if we suffer a lot in our lives, from terrible people, and we feel hurt, we can rest in God. This is because he is the righteous judge of all reality. His throne is in heaven and from there he sees everything that has ever happened.

If someone has stolen from you, humiliated you, cursed you or harmed you in any way, if they don't repent, God will bring them to judgement. And we face the same judgement, unless we repent of our sins and believe in Christ Jesus.

Practise justice!

  • Read the whole of Psalm 11
  • Reflect on and think about yourself, woul you describe yourself as righteous or wicked?
  • Pray and trust God that He will bring you justice

Pray:

Lord God, my Father, and Jesus Christ my saviour, I ask you to protect me and keep me from all evil. When the wicked threaten me and terrorise my peace, may I be protected under their wings, safe from evil attacks. May I and my enemies repent of our sins, and be eternally at your side, Lord, for in Christ the sins of all mankind have been paid for. In Jesus' name, amen.

God's creativity is in you!

God is the supreme Creator, and His creativity is infinite! Look around and see the world He has made - the delicate flowers, the singing birds, the dazzling colors of the sunset. All of this is testimony to God's incredible creativity.

We human beings are the pinnacle of this creativity. God made us in His image and likeness, and that means we carry a piece of His creativity in us. He has given us unique gifts and talents to use for His glory.

When we use our creativity to do good, we are reflecting the image of God. We can create works of art, write inspiring music, solve complex problems and help those in need. Every time we do something good and beautiful, we are showing the world the greatness of our Creator.

However, we also need to remember that we are stewards of God's creativity. He has given us these gifts to look after and use responsibly. We must use them to bless others and to fulfil God's purpose for us.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
- Ephesians 2:10

So remember that you are a work of God's creativity. Use your gifts to do good and glorify Him, because then you'll be living according to the purpose He has for your life.

God's creativity is in you!

  • Use your creativity to inspire others through words or actions that promote love, hope and compassion.
  • Face challenges with a creative mind, seeking innovative and effective solutions to the situations you encounter.
  • Develop your creative gifts by honing your skills and applying them to projects that glorify God and benefit humanity.

Pray:

Father, thank you that you are a creative God. Empower us with Your creativity to inspire, solve and improve. May our actions glorify Your name and bless this world. Amen.

What is the Daily Devotional

The Daily Devotional is a special moment of your day that you dedicate to having a precious time of intimacy with God. It is very simple to establish an exciting routine of discovery and spiritual growth. You will achieve this by setting aside a moment each day to draw near to the Lord. During the Devotional, you will read a Bible verse with a meditation on the text. Then, you will meditate on the teachings and how to apply them in your life. In the end, you can pray.

How to do your Daily Devotional

Here are some tips for making the most of reading the Bible message during the Daily Devotional:

  1. Set aside a moment and choose a specific place: your devotional time will be more beneficial if you set aside the hustle and bustle and invest in a pleasant time alone with God.
  2. Read the verse or Bible passage attentively: develop a lifestyle committed to the Word of God every day and avoid distractions.
  3. Read the daily meditation: reflect and try to understand God's purpose for your life through the comments.
  4. Practical application: jot down your findings and don't forget to put into practice everything you have learned through the Bible.
  5. Share what you learned: try to share with people around what God has been teaching you in your moments of daily devotion as you go about your daily conversations and interactions.

Don't forget the importance of living a life fully committed to the Word of God!
