1 John 4:21~ And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
John has been telling us over and over again for more than a week: we have to love each other as Christians. But this reminder is the last straw. If we love God, we must also love His children—our Christian brothers and sisters. The word is not "should," "will try," or "want to." No, we have to.

1 John 4:21~ And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
John has been telling us over and over again for more than a week: we have to love each other as Christians. But this reminder is the last straw. If we love God, we must also love His children—our Christian brothers and sisters. The word is not "should," "will try," or "want to." No, we have to. Scripture is careful not to have too many "you must" or "you shall" commands. God's message is clear: love is not a choice, a negotiation, or something that can be put off. God sent Jesus to die to pay for everyone's sins. How can we not love the people Christ died for? "God's love drives us," Paul tells the Corinthians. Love is a must.
Prayer: Sovereign LORD, please forgive me when I sometimes choose which of Your children to love. I'm asking You now to bless, feed, and support my Christian brothers and sisters. I want to pray especially for some of Your children who are going through hard times and need Your help. Please reveal to me some of Your children who need Your help. Dear Father, please also use me to help them in concrete ways. In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.

Philippians 1:3 ~ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
Some people are blessings. It doesn't matter if we talk to them over the phone, receive a nice email, get a letter in the mail, or see them in person. We thank God for them every time we think about them. So let's do what Paul did and let them know that they give us reasons to thank God.

Psalm 73:23~ Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
We surrender our lives to the Lord because we have faith in His love for us. We praise Him for His goodness on our good days and cry out to Him during trials. God has never left our side and continues to reach His hand out to hold and guide us through each obstacle. Even when life is not going the way we planned, we will sing praises to His name from the mountain tops be... moreGood night brothers and sisters

1 John 4:15~ Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
Jesus is God's Son. Just six words. But they are much more than just words. They are the key that lets God into our hearts. So, tonight, when you say that Jesus is God's Son, welcome God into your heart on purpose. When someone says they believe in the Son, the Father lives in them!

1 John 4:13~ Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
The fact that the Holy Spirit lives in us is proof that we are truly God's children. The Spirit helps us show what kind of person God is (Galatians 5:22). When we pray, the Spirit helps us (Romans 8:26-27). Romans 8:13 says that the Spirit gives us the power to fight sin and the strength to do things we never thought we could do (Ephesians 3:14-21).

When we pray, the Spirit helps us (Romans 8:26-27). Romans 8:13 says that the Spirit gives us the power to fight sin and the strength to do things we never thought we could do (Ephesians 3:14-21). The Spirit comforts us when we're hurting and shows us that God is with us (John 14:15-26). The Spirit is the best proof that we belong to God (Romans 8:9; Romans 8:14-16). God is good to give us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit also helps us in many other important ways as God's children. "God's Holy Fire" is a free daily devotional about how the Holy Spirit works in our lives that you can read online or receive by email.
Prayer: Father, I praise You for being holy, powerful, and majestic. I'm grateful for Your kindness. Your love, which saved me, has made me feel small. But today, dear Father, I'm most grateful for Your Holy Spirit, who lives in me and gives me strength, cleanses me, comforts me, and makes Your fatherhood real to me. Countless thanks. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

Without notice, perhaps unaware, we may never know what our Lord may have in store for us. He may like Moses, call upon us at any moment to do his bidding, or to prove our devotion. We should therefore always be ready, as a hunter lies in wait. Many might sympathize with the feeling common in today's society of either waiting for or expecting a phone call. That is, in essence, how our heart might be poised, waiting on and longing for the command of the Lord.
Prayer: O Lord my shepherd, choose to do with me as your will commands. Unworthy as I am of your grace, I stand ready yet forever in wait of giving you service. Let my strength and patience not wither, nor my resolve weaken. For you are my light, my Father, my alpha and omega, as I strive to be a channel of your peace. Amen.

1 John 4:9~ In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
Sharing life with someone else is a sign of affection. Jesus best exemplifies this idea more than anybody else! But it was because of His death that we were rescued and given new life in Christ. Now, God wants us to teach people about His love for them in a manner that they can comprehend and enjoy.

So look at how God has shown His love through Jesus and do the same thing.
Pray: Holy God, I want to show that You are my Father by loving others better. Please bless me as I try to treat other people with love like Jesus did. In Jesus' precious name, I PRAY AMEN

Proverb 19:21~ There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
What do you have going on today?" If you're like me, you try to plan your day with prayer. You set up meetings with people for the future so you can meet their needs, listen to their worries, or talk about projects and issues. But we should always live in humility, knowing that none of our plans are worth anything unless they come from the Father.

This psalm of despair is also a psalm of hope and faith. Jesus talked about it from the cross. God has always been good to His people Israel, and their history is a constant reminder that we can trust Him to save us. God may seem slow to answer based on how we measure time, but His track record in history shows that He will answer, save, and bless His people in His time. We can remember that God is faithful and hears our cries of despair, lament, grief, agony, and fear, even in our worst nightmares.
Prayer: I ask you, dear Father, to bless your people everywhere who are going through hard times. Give them your Spirit and bless their difficult situations with a change for the better. Please listen to what your people are saying and act quickly to protect, defend, and help them. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
