1 John 5:14-15
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked of him.
What of Today’s Verse…
Confidence before God. Through the presence of Jesus at the Father’s right hand and the intercession of the Holy Spirit, we can have confidence and come boldly before the Creator of the universe and know that he not only hears us, but also cares for us. Wow, what an audience! Oh, and one final thing, he also ACTS on what we ask.
Let us Pray:
Abba Father, for the grace of your listening ear I thank you more than words can say. Through the authority of Jesus, my brother, and by the grace of your interceding Holy Spirit, I offer you my thanks and love this day. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Be good to you…
Make it a point today to do something nice for a very important person in your life — you! To give of yourself to others, you must first have something to give. So enjoy life. Have fun. Indulge yourself. Be good to yourself. How can you hope to bring happiness to others, if you are not happy?
Enjoy this day. Do something special for you. In the midst of frustration, even during a time of desperation, there is joy in simply being alive. There is nothing to be gained by denying happiness to you. Being happy is a choice that you’re always able to make, and one you can make without feeling any guilt.
You deserve to be good to you. And you’ll be a more effective, interesting, creative and productive person for the effort. Make yourself the kind of person who can really make a difference. Be good to you today, and every day.
