Romans 12:4-5
Just as each of us has a one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
What of Today’s Verse…
One of the key realities of Christianity is belonging. I belong! I belong to God. I belong to Jesus. I belong to Jesus’ body the Church. I have a place and a purpose in that body. I belong!
Let us Pray:
Help me, Father, to find the place where I’m supposed to fit in your body. Until then, I pledge to try all sorts of ministries so that your Spirit, and not just my own preference, will guide me into your place for me to serve. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.’
Words of Wisdom
Ready…
I am ready to experience the abundance of the kingdom of God here and now.
Today I ready myself to live the life of abundance that is God’s will for me. It is a life filled with joy, a life of peace.
I prepare myself by making room in my thoughts and in my world for God’s good. Just as in cleaning house, getting ready for change involves releasing and discarding anything that no longer serves a purpose. I release and make room for people, experiences, and situations that are meaningful and uplifting.
Purifying my thoughts, I cast out resentments, which allows forgiving love to fill my heart. I acknowledge that I am a child of God, and any self-doubt dissolves. The kingdom of God is here and now, within me and around me. I am ready to experience the abundance of the kingdom of God here and now.
"Strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."—Matthew 6:33
