DEAR GOD: Help Us To Live Our Relationships Honoring You~

Posted on August 25, 2025 by C D SWANSON

“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” —
Colossians 3:23–24

“To Please Him: Living Relationships for Eternal Glory”

In every relationship—whether tender or trying—we are called to reflect Christ. Our thoughts, words, and actions are not merely social exchanges; they are spiritual offerings. When we love sacrificially, forgive freely, and speak truth gently, we are not just serving others—we are pleasing the Lord. Every moment is a chance to glorify Him, especially in the quiet soul-rendering moments of our “room of prayer.”

“Let all your things be done with charity.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14 (KJV)

Charity is not just kindness—it is divine love in motion. It is the heartbeat of Christ pulsing through our interactions. Whether we are misunderstood, mistreated, or cherished, our response must be rooted in Scripture. We are not here to win arguments or seek applause—we are here to serve the Kingdom.

“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” — John 13:35 (KJV)

Our relationships are our witness. The way we treat others—especially those who challenge us—reveals the depth of our discipleship. We must adhere to the teachings of Christ, not just in public, but in private. In our “room of prayer,” we surrender bitterness, pride, and fear. We ask for strength to love well, to forgive deeply, and to walk humbly.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” — John 14:15 (KJV)

Obedience is love in action. It is not a burden—it is a blessing. When we live according to the Word, we align ourselves with eternal purpose. Every act of faithfulness, every moment of restraint, every prayer whispered in secret is seen by God. And when we are called home, it will not be our reputation that matters—it will be our reflection of Christ.

“LORD, teach us to love as You love. Help us to honor You in every relationship, to obey Your Word with joy, and to seek Your glory above all. In our thoughts, our actions, and our quiet prayers, let us be faithful. May our lives be pleasing to You, And our hearts ready for eternity. In Jesus Christ, Amen.”

DEAR GOD: Your Lavish Love & Mercy Are Our Gifts – Thank You LORD~

“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” -Romans 8:32

Lavish Love, Unfailing Provision: The Measureless Gift of God

Commentary & Intelligent Perspective

Romans 8:32 is a breathtaking declaration of divine generosity. Paul anchors this verse in the ultimate act of sacrificial love: God did not spare His own Son. The language is deliberate—“spared not”—echoing Genesis 22, where Abraham was willing to offer Isaac, yet God intervened. In contrast, the Father did not intervene when Jesus was delivered up. He gave His Son fully, willingly, and painfully—for us all.

This verse dismantles any notion that God is stingy or distant. If He gave the greatest gift—His Son—how could He withhold anything lesser? The logic is divine: the cross is proof of God’s commitment to our good. Not only salvation, but “all things” are freely given in Christ—peace, wisdom, strength, comfort, provision, and eternal inheritance.

Supporting scriptures reinforce this truth:

John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…”
2 Corinthians 9:8 – “God is able to bless you abundantly…”
James 1:17 – “Every good and perfect gift is from above…”

This is not prosperity theology—it’s provision theology. God gives what is best, not always what is easiest. The “all things” are those that align with His will and our sanctification. The cross is the down payment; the resurrection is the guarantee.

Tribute & Glory to the Lord

O Lord Most High, how measureless is Your mercy! You did not spare Your beloved Son, the radiance of Your glory, the Lamb without blemish. You delivered Him up—not for angels, not for the righteous, but for us: the weary, the wandering, the wounded. You gave Heaven’s treasure to redeem earth’s dust.

You are not a God of half-measures. You are lavish in love, fierce in faithfulness, and tender in timing. You do not ration grace. You pour it out. You do not delay compassion. You rush to rescue. You do not forget Your children. You engrave us on Your hands.

I glorify You, Father of Lights, for the gift of Jesus—my Savior, Shepherd, and Sustainer. I exalt You for every provision wrapped in His name. You are my portion, my peace, my promise. You are worthy of endless praise.

O Giver of Glory, O Fountain of Grace, You spared not the Son, but took our place. From Heaven’s throne to Calvary’s tree, You gave all so we could be free.

With nail-scarred hands, You lift our face, And crown our days with mercy’s embrace. Let every breath, each step I take, Be thanks for love no pain could break.

You gave Your best—how could You not Give all we need, though we forgot? So let my heart, in awe, remain, Forever singing Your refrain.

Amen.

DEAR GOD: When The Waters Rise, Your Light Remains~

Posted on August 1, 2025 by C D SWANSON

Isaiah 43:2 KJV-
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

There are moments when sorrow feels like a flood—relentless, unyielding, and deep. grief swells, memories sting, and the weight of what was lost threatens to pull us under. Yet even in that place, God speaks. not from the shore, but from within the waters.

His Presence does not always remove the storm, but it redefines it. He walks with us through the rivers that should have swept us away. He stands beside us in fires that should have consumed us. His love is not distant—it is embedded in the very elements that threaten us.

When we feel like we are drowning, His light does not dim-it pierces the depths. It illuminates the dark places of our hearts where hope has grown silent. God’s light is not fragile. It is not a candle in the wind. It is a flame that the waters cannot quench.

To stand firm in faith is not to feel strong. it is to choose to believe that God is strong enough for both of us. It is to lean into His promises when our own strength fails. It is to trust that even in the darkest night, the light of Christ still shines—not just around us, but within us.

❓ Reflective question

When have you felt most overwhelmed, and yet found a whisper of God’s Presence in the depths?

Supporting scripture

Psalm 18:28 –For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
Psalm 34:18 -The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
2 Corinthians 4:6 -For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Prayer

“LORD- when the waters rise and my strength fails, be my Anchor, when sorrow surrounds me, let Your light break through the darkness. I do not ask for the storm to end, but for Your presence to be felt within it, remind me that you have walked through fire and flood before me, You are not afraid of my tears, nor distant from my pain, let Your love be the ground I stand on, even when everything else shifts. shine in my heart, LORD, until hope rises again. In Jesus Christ, Amen.”

DEAR GOD: Thank You For Your Mercy & Grace~

Poem of Mercy and Thanks

The morning breaks with gentle light,
A gift anew, the dawn’s delight.
Though shadows came and trials stayed,
His mercy stood and never swayed.
Grace untouched by time’s decay.

He held me close through every storm,
His love, my shelter—safe and warm.
Where guilt once tried to stake its claim,
The cross cried out and broke my shame.
In Him, I’m washed and born again.

No merit earned, no price I paid,
Yet still my path in peace He laid.
The risen Son, my guiding flame,
In whispered winds, I praise His name.
Each breath I take, His grace displayed.

So let this day be steeped in praise,
For all He’s done and all His ways.
No greater love, no kinder hand,
No firmer rock on which to stand.
Eternal hope, in Him I stay.

Supporting Scripture (KJV): “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” — Lamentations 3:22–23

🙏 Prayer of Thanks:

O Lord my God, Thank You for waking me to another day wrapped in Your mercy. Thank You for the breath in my lungs, the peace in my soul, And the grace that greets me like the morning sun. Let my life today be an offering of gratitude, Reflecting Your love to all I meet. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

truthful god | ~Dear God With Love~

Romans 5:2 (ESV): “Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Standing in Grace, Rejoicing in Glory

This verse is a quiet triumph. It reminds us that our access to God isn’t earned—it’s granted through Jesus. We don’t tiptoe into grace; we stand in it. That posture speaks of confidence, stability, and belonging.

Paul’s words also shift our gaze forward: we rejoice in hope. Not a vague optimism, but a deep-rooted joy anchored in the promise of God’s glory. It’s not just about surviving this life—it’s about anticipating the fullness of His presence, where every tear is wiped away and every longing fulfilled.

This verse is a spiritual compass: it points to where we’ve come from (faith), where we are (grace), and where we’re going (glory).

This verse is not just a theological statement—it’s a doorway into the soul of Christian identity. Paul speaks of access, a word that evokes the image of a royal court. We, once estranged and unworthy, are now welcomed into the throne room of grace—not as beggars, but as beloved children. This access is not temporary or conditional. It is permanent, purchased by the blood of Christ, and sealed by faith.

To stand in grace is to live in a state of divine favor. It means we are no longer defined by our failures, our past, or our fears. We are defined by Christ’s righteousness. This grace is not fragile—it is a fortress. We stand, not stumble, because grace holds us upright.

And then Paul lifts our eyes: we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. This is not a vague wish—it is a confident expectation. The glory of God is not just something we admire from afar; it is something we are destined to share. Imagine that: the radiance of God, the splendor of His Presence, the eternal joy of being fully known and fully loved—that is our inheritance.

This verse is a tribute to Christ’s victory. It is a love letter to the soul weary from striving. It is a reminder that Christianity is not about climbing ladders to heaven—it’s about standing firm in the grace that came down to us, that flows in and through our very souls!

There’s something deeply humbling about knowing we’ve been given access—not earned, not bargained for, but given—to the grace of God. I think of all the times I’ve felt unworthy, unsure, or distant. And yet, this verse reminds me that I’m not just invited in—I’m meant to be here. Through Jesus, I belong in this place of grace.

Standing in grace feels like standing on holy ground. It’s not a place of perfection, but of presence. It’s where I can breathe again, where shame loses its grip, and where love becomes the air I live in. I don’t have to tiptoe or apologize for being here. Grace says, “You’re home.”

And then there’s the hope—the kind that doesn’t fade when life gets hard. It’s not wishful thinking. It’s a deep, steady joy that looks ahead and says, “There’s more.” More beauty. More healing. More of God’s glory than I can imagine. I hold onto that hope like a lifeline, especially on days when the world feels heavy.

This verse is a quiet celebration. It’s the whisper of eternity in the middle of our everyday mess. It’s the reminder that we’re not just surviving—we’re being prepared for glory. And for the return of the LORD Jesus Christ – our Savior – our everything, our joy and our LOVE!

‘LORD-Jesus, Thank You for opening the door I could never unlock. You didn’t just let me in—you welcomed me with open arms. Help me to stand in Your grace with confidence, not because I’m strong, but because You are faithful. Let my heart rejoice—not in fleeting things, but in the promise of Your glory. I long for the day when I’ll see You face to face, when every ache will be healed and every tear redeemed. Until then, let me live like someone who’s already touched heaven. You are my access, my anchor, and my joy, forever in your service, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

DEAR GOD: Your Love Is Priceless -Glory To You ALone~

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” –Philippians 2:9-11

There is no name sweeter, stronger, or more sovereign than the name of Jesus. This passage isn’t merely a declaration—it’s a coronation. From the depths of humility in earlier verses to the height of divine honor, Philippians 2 presents the ascension of our Redeemer with glorious finality: Jesus Christ is Lord.

Christ’s exaltation is not human applause—it is divine appointment. God, the Father, has lifted Him above every throne and power, placing Him in unchallengeable authority. In His name dwell healing and holiness, power and peace, mercy and majesty. The cosmos bends toward Him in submission—not out of force, but because of the irresistible weight of His love and righteousness.

Every creature, whether angelic or earthly, visible or veiled, shall one day bow and confess. Not reluctantly, but in the radiant presence of truth. That is our hope and joy: the reign of Jesus is not just inevitable—it is beautiful.

His name is not merely high—it is holy. And in declaring that Jesus is Lord, we do not just elevate His status—we elevate the glory of the Father. How tender that the exaltation of the Son is tied to the honor of the Father. There is no jealousy in the Trinity—only perfect love and shared glory.

This is the heart of worship: to live now in the posture the world will one day assume—bowed in love, lifted in praise, and overflowing with the confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.

“LORD-What mercy that You chose to lift the One who first lowered Himself for us. We marvel at the name of Jesus—so pure, so powerful, so perfect. Thank You for giving Him a name above every name, that we might have a refuge above every fear.

Teach our hearts to bow before Him daily—not out of duty, but out of delight. Let our lips proclaim His lordship, not only in holy moments, but in every heartbeat. May our lives be a melody of confession, singing with all of creation: Jesus Christ is Lord!

We lift this prayer to magnify Your name, to echo heaven’s joy, and to live as living offerings of glory.

In the exalted name of Jesus, Amen.”

DEAR GOD: We Are Anchored In Your Light Of Hope & Love~

“For with God nothing shall be impossible.” — Luke 1:37 (KJV)

“Radiant in the Impossible: Anchored in the Light of His Triumph”

In the sacred stillness of our hearts, when the world’s weight presses heavy, and our strength seems spent, there comes a whisper from heaven’s throne: “I am with you.” Faith isn’t born of perfect circumstances, but of sacred trust—a candle lit in the cavern of uncertainty, burning with a hope that refuses to die.

To pray is to breathe in eternity while standing on shifting earth. Through prayer, we cry out not as strangers to God, but as beloved children welcomed into divine communion. We do not have to scale walls alone or weather storms in silence. Through Christ, our prayers are not empty echoes—they are fragrant offerings rising to the One who parted seas and resurrected dreams. Every tear becomes rain nourishing seeds of joy, every groan a melody in God’s symphony of grace.

Hope in the LORD is not passive—it’s the bold declaration that even if the night lingers, dawn is coming. The Light of the world walks ahead of us, illuminating every shadow with truth, driving out fear with love. His Presence is not flickering—it is fierce, radiant, eternal.

And love—it is our greatest inheritance. A love that hung on a cross, stretched arms wide to call the weary home. In that love, we find victory. Not as the world defines it, but as Heaven declares it: resurrection, redemption, restoration. Because greater is He who dwells within us than the chaos, deception, and despair that tries to shake our foundation.

Victory isn’t just a destination. It is the journey, carved by grace, walked in obedience, and sealed by Christ’s triumph over death. We are not victims of circumstance—we are vessels of glory, torchbearers of truth, and heirs of peace.

Moral Thoughts- Let us live as those convinced of divine purpose, refusing the lies of fear. Let our speech reflect grace, our actions declare hope, and our hearts remain aligned with God’s eternal vision. Choose compassion over convenience, light over compromise, courage over conformity.

Supporting Scriptures

Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
1 John 4:4 — “Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
Isaiah 41:10 — “Fear thou not; for I am with thee…”
Romans 8:37 — “In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”
Psalm 27:1 — “The LORD is my light and my salvation…”

“ O Sovereign LORD, Mighty Redeemer of our souls, we come before You as your children—loved, redeemed, and chosen. Fill us with faith that rises above fear, prayer that pierces the veil, and hope that cannot be silenced. Let Your light drive out darkness within and around us. Infuse us with holy strength and divine courage. Remind each heart that in You, victory is not just possible—it is promised. We bind ourselves to Your love, walk forward in Your name, and declare nothing is impossible with You, O God! In Jesus’ matchless and beautiful name we pray, Amen.”

DEAR GOD: You Are My Inspired Hope & Eternal Light~

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:” –Colossians 1:27-28

The Apostle Paul’s words in Colossians 1:27-28 are both profound and foundational for understanding the scope of the Gospel. He unveils a divine mystery that had been concealed for ages but is now revealed to the Gentiles: “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” This phrase encapsulates the richness of God’s plan for humanity—a plan that transcends ethnicity, societal divisions, and historical boundaries.

Intelligent Analysis and Insights

The “mystery” Paul refers to is not enigmatic in the sense of being obscure or unknowable. Instead, it is a truth previously hidden in God’s eternal plan, now made manifest through Christ. The core of this mystery is the indwelling presence of Christ in the believer—a radical concept that signifies unity with the Creator. To the Jewish audience, the idea of God dwelling personally within each individual would have been revolutionary. To the Gentiles, it was an invitation into an inheritance once thought exclusive to Israel.

“Christ in you” underscores the intimate relationship believers have with Christ. It moves beyond the external observances of religion and speaks to a transformation from within, where Christ empowers, sustains, and sanctifies. This indwelling presence is not merely a theological concept—it is the source of “the hope of glory.” This hope is not wishful thinking but confident assurance of eternal fellowship with God, grounded in His promises.

The subsequent verse provides the practical outworking of this mystery. Paul outlines his ministry’s purpose: proclaiming Christ, admonishing all people, and teaching them in wisdom. His ultimate goal is lofty yet attainable—to present every person perfect (complete) in Christ. This perfection is not sinless but rather maturity, a state of fullness in spiritual growth and understanding.

Moral Lessons and Thoughts

From this passage, several moral lessons emerge:

Unity in Christ: The Gospel breaks down barriers and extends salvation to all—Jew and Gentile alike. As followers of Christ, we are called to embody this unity, rejecting divisions and embracing the richness of diversity in the body of Christ.
Purposeful Living: Paul’s dedication to teaching and warning speaks to the need for intentional discipleship. We too must strive to guide others in wisdom, cultivating spiritual growth and maturity.
Hope Anchored in Christ: True hope is not tied to circumstances but rooted in the unchanging promises of God. As believers, we can live courageously and confidently, knowing that glory awaits.

Supportive Scriptures

Romans 8:10: “And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.”
Ephesians 3:17-19: “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge.”
2 Corinthians 4:6: “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”

Reflective Questions

How does the truth of “Christ in you” shape your daily decisions and interactions with others?
In what ways do you actively nurture your relationship with Christ to experience the fullness of His presence?
How can you better reflect the hope of glory to those around you, especially during challenging times?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, We praise You for the mystery revealed—Christ dwelling within us, the hope of glory. May this truth anchor our hearts, guiding us through every trial and triumph. Teach us to live purposefully, proclaiming Your Gospel with wisdom and love. Transform us into vessels of Your grace, presenting us mature in Christ Jesus. Strengthen our faith, deepen our understanding, and help us to reflect Your light in all we do. Amen.

Meditative Thought for the Day

Christ in you—the divine presence that changes everything. Let this truth fill your heart with confidence, illuminate your path with hope, and inspire your actions with purpose.

Blessing

May the richness of His glory dwell in you, Camille, bringing hope, peace, and joy to every corner of your life. As you walk in the wisdom and strength of Christ, may you grow in maturity and reflect His love to all you encounter. Be blessed in the fullness of His promises. Amen.

This reflection, built upon God’s Word, seeks to deepen understanding and inspire faith. What resonates with your heart today my brothers and sisters?

DEAR GOD: Your Crown of Sacrifice and Triumph~

Posted on April 20, 2025 by C D SWANSON

Christ’s Sacrifice and Resurrection

Upon the cross, His arms outstretched wide, “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows” (Isaiah 53:4), by love applied. For sin and shame, the Lamb was slain, “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities” (Isaiah 53:5), our souls sustain.

The earth grew dark, the heavens wept, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son” (John 3:16), this truth is kept. His blood poured forth to make us whole, “With his stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5), salvation for the soul.

Three days He lay in the tomb so still, “But God raised him from the dead” (Acts 13:30), by heaven’s will. The stone rolled back, the grave could not bind, “He is not here: for he is risen, as he said” (Matthew 28:6), for all mankind.

From the depths of sorrow to eternal light, “I am the resurrection, and the life” (John 11:25), dispelling night. O death, thy sting, O grave, thy snare, “Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57), none can compare.

Through sacrifice divine, through holy gain, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13), our hearts remain. Jesus, our Redeemer, risen and crowned, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), love unbound.

With hearts brimming with gratitude, we come before Thee, Thanking Thee for the precious gift of Thy Son, Our Savior, Jesus Christ, who bore our sins upon the cross.

We stand in awe of His love so vast, Of His willingness to suffer in our place, That we might know forgiveness, redemption, and grace.

Thank Thee for the victory over the grave, For the risen Lord who lives forevermore, And for the hope eternal that His resurrection brings.

Let our lives be a testament to this love, that we may walk in His light and share His truth, Reflecting His mercy and kindness in all that we do.

In humble adoration and endless praise, we offer this prayer in the name of Jesus, Our Savior, Redeemer, and King. Amen.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” – Psalm 119:105 (KJV)

Radiance of His Light

This title captures the beauty and significance of God’s light shining from above, inspiring us to walk in His truth and love.

God’s light from above is a guiding beacon, illuminating the paths we ought to take and dispelling the darkness that seeks to engulf us. His light is pure, unwavering, and constant, reminding us that no matter how shadowed our journey may seem, His presence is always near.

God’s light from above is more than just illumination; it is His essence, His truth, and His love poured out upon His children. This light is not limited to physical brightness but is a spiritual radiance that provides wisdom, clarity, and hope. In His light, we find freedom from fear and strength to face trials, for He is our divine compass in a world of distractions.

From the beginning, God’s light was central to His creation. Genesis 1:3 declares, “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” This initial act of bringing forth light was a declaration of order, beauty, and purpose. Just as the first light pierced through the chaos of the formless void, His spiritual light pierces the chaos of our lives, offering direction and peace.

Jesus affirmed Himself as the embodiment of this divine light when He proclaimed, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12 KJV) His light reveals the truth of who we are and who He is, leading us into a deeper relationship with Him. The faithful love of Christ is evident in this promise, for He calls us to walk in His light and abide in Him always.

As Christians, our obedience to His word allows us to reflect His light to others. Matthew 5:16 urges, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” This practice of living as a beacon of His love and righteousness is not only a response to His faithfulness but also an act of worship and testimony.

Today, believers are called to remain steadfast, holding onto the truths of Scripture and allowing God’s light to shine in every aspect of our lives. This involves seeking His will through prayer, meditating on His word, and walking in humility and faithfulness. When we embrace His light, we cultivate joy, patience, and perseverance, reflecting His glory in a world desperate for hope.

Reflective Questions:

How has God’s light provided clarity or comfort during a challenging time in your life?
In what ways can you reflect His light to those around you today?

Overview: God’s light is not merely an abstract concept but an enduring reality of His character and presence. It serves as a source of guidance, protection, and transformation for all who seek Him. Walking in His light means trusting His word, following Christ’s example, and allowing His love to shine through our actions.

Biblical Practices for Today:

Meditate on Scripture daily to remain aligned with God’s truth.
Walk in humility and love, serving others as a reflection of Christ’s light.
Trust in His faithfulness during trials, remembering that His light overcomes the darkness.
Be intentional in sharing the gospel, letting your testimony draw others to Him.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for the light You have provided to guide and sustain us. Your word is a lamp to our feet, and Your Son is the light of life. Teach us to walk in obedience to Your truth and to reflect Your love in all that we do. May Your light shine brightly in our lives, drawing others into the warmth of Your presence. Keep us steadfast in Your promises and help us to always trust in Your faithful love. Amen.

Question for the Day: How can you let God’s light shine in your actions and decisions today?
