John 3:17
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
What of Today’s Verse…
How do you view God? Is he someone looking for a way to condemn you? Is he an out-of-touch old man who doesn’t really know what it’s like in our modern world? Is he too holy to soil himself with the concerns of mere mortals and has left it up to us to work everything out for ourselves? No. NO. NO! God chose to enter our world and experience it from the side of mortality. God chose to enter our world, not to condemn us, or it, but to redeem it. Jesus is the great reminder that God longs to save us, not judge us. Thank God for God! Thank God for Jesus who was God with us.
Let us Pray:
Holy and Heavenly God, thank you that you live with those who are contrite and repentant and who long for your presence. You know we are only mortal, but you love us. You know that we are flawed, but you redeemed us. You know that we are not perfect, but you sent Jesus as the perfect sacrifice to save us. Thank you. Through my Saviour I offer my sincerest gratitude and praise. Amen.

Mind set…
You can do whatever you set your mind on doing. In fact, you’re doing it already. Your current reality is based on what your mind has been set on achieving.
If you’re an effective parent, it’s because you’ve set your mind on being one. If you’re an overweight couch potato, that’s what you’ve set your mind on becoming. If you’re exceeding your sales quota, and making a six-figure income, it’s because you’ve set your mind on doing it.
Your mind set controls your reality. You make your own circumstances, based on what you expect them to be, on what you expect yourself to be. Expect the best of yourself, and you’ll get it. Set your mind on fulfilling your enormous potential, and it will happen.
