IN MY LIFE:
Thank you to everyone who prayed yesterday. I know the requests were vague, but the prayers were felt.
Before facilitating our marriage class last night, I kept hearing the same phrase I’ve heard since beginning to lead it: “In Spirit & in Truth”. John 4:23 says:
“True worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks.”
What this tells me is that we must not only read and study the Bible, but we must also ask the Holy Spirit to make it come alive to us and in us.
I’ve had an “icky” feeling over some interactions lately, mostly because I want to do right by God, but I also don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings in the process. The truth is, I cannot control anything but myself, yet at the same time I have to die to self that Christ might be more present in me.The last thing I want is for people to see me, but to see Christ in and through me, that it would point them into a closer relationship with our Heavenly Father.
PRAYER FOCUS: Peace
May the peace of God wash over each of you today in a new and unexplainable way.
