VERSE OF THE DAY

Tuesday

1 John 4:9 This is how God showed his love among us:  He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

Love is a verb.  We can't say it enough.  Love must not only be spoken but must also be shown.  The beginning of love is God.  He showed His love in the most sacrificial of ways so we could know our incredible value to Him.  The price of our adoption was the emptying of heaven of its greatest treasure, God the Son, who is our Savior.

PRAYER ... Loving Father, thank You for adopting me into Your family. I can never thank You enough or ever repay You for Your kindness, but please receive the service of my life today as thanksgiving for Your grace and my small way of trying to share the love you have given me. Through Jesus my Ransom I pray. Amen.
