Galatians 3:26-29
You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
What Of Today’s Verse…
One. Basic, simple, and easy to understand. When we become Christians through faith and baptism into Christ, we are made one with all other Christians around the world. Race, gender, and social status are gone. All that’s left is One, the One, Jesus. Our lives are his and thus are connected to each other. Our destination is the same, heaven. Our family is the church. No barriers. No closed doors. We are one.
Let Us Pray:
Abba Father, thank you for adopting me into your family. May we be one earth now, as we will be when we are all together around your throne in heaven. I pray for unity among all those who call upon your name and share your Spirit so the world may know there is a solution to conflict, strife and division. Through Jesus our Savior, I pray. Amen.’

Turning Point…
I embrace change as an opportunity to grow and to affirm my oneness with God.
As this year draws to a close and with a new one just around the corner, I realize what a turning point this can be in my life. Whatever has happened in the past year, the new year is one of promise.
Turning points can be marked in different ways. Whatever the catalyst for change, each turning point in my life brings me into a greater awareness of the power of God within me and of my ability to grow and change.
Life is about change. So my mornings begin and my days end in prayers of gratitude. I am thankful for understanding that the changes which do come about are opportunities for my growth and for my good.
I look forward to the next turning point in my life, knowing each change is a stepping stone to a deeper realization of my oneness with God.
