God, Your love amazes me. It compels me to know You more intimately, and to love the people around me better. Help me to live in Your love-every single day. In Jesus' name, Amen.

GALATIANS 4:4-5 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

You belong to the God who sent His Son to rescue you. Worship God right now as you reflect on His kindness and generosity.

1 PETER 5:6-7 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.

Re-read this verse and consider how Jesus humbled Himself by coming to earth as a baby. What do you need to surrender to God right now? How might God be asking you to be humble before Him?

Jesus, as I remember Your generous love, I am overwhelmed by Your kindness. You came down from heaven to fulfill Your Father's will and save the weary world. Your obedience paved a way for me to draw near to You everyday. So please teach me to do Your will. Show me how to lay down my dreams and pickup Yours. Fill me with Your love so that I can pour Your love onto others. Amen.

DAILY BIBLE READING: HOSEA 12-14 REVELATION 4 THE LORD'S INDICTMENT OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH by the help of your God, return, hold fast to love and justice, and wait continually for your God.” THE LORD'S RELENTLESS JUDGEMENT ON ISRAEL A PLEA TO RETURN TO THE LORD Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity. Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the Lord are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them. THE THRONE IN HEAVEN At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. 3And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” 9And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”
