Galatians 3: 26-29
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
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 Saviour, I pray. Amen.’
Words Of Wisdom
Inner Peace…
I am a child of God, enfolded in perfect love and peace.
Dear God, deep within my soul, there is a place where Your perfect love and peace await me. I commune with You, and my inner experience of tranquility expands to allow me to be peaceful and poised in every situation, in every area of life.
Remembering that Your perfect love transforms all fear into courage, I do not let any outer circumstance or condition cause me concern. As I relax and breathe into Your love, I am calm, still, and serene.
Soothed and comforted by Your perfect love, God, I am free to go about my activities throughout the day with newfound confidence. Renewed in my awareness of Your ever-present love, I am peaceful in mind, body, and spirit.
“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.”—1 John 4:18
Here our selfless desires are hidden by selfish ones. They are real, but they are covered by what is false. Therefore whoever of our own departs from this life, not one can ever be brought back before our eyes. But all those we love, alive or departed, and all things we desire but do not have, are found when we enter that space within the heart; for there abide all desires that are true, though covered by what is false.
