Today’s Scripture
“So then, beloved ones, the flesh has no claims on us at all, and we have no further obligation to live in obedience to it. For when you live controlled by the flesh, you are about to die. But if the life of the Spirit puts to death the corrupt ways of the flesh, we then taste his abundant life. The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit. And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father!” For the Holy Spirit makes God’s fatherhood real to us as he whispers into our innermost being, “You are God’s beloved child!”
Romans 8:12-16

Today’s Thought
The Holy Spirit will correct you through loving instruction, not harsh behavior. Remember He is the divine reminder of truth and He will always lead you through loving instruction.

Today’s Confession
Holy Spirit, I thank you for your guidance in my life. I value your voice and correction in everything I do. Help me to walk in the wisdom that you give me and help me to keep my heart open to your voice. As you guide me in love, help me to accept your correction and not be afraid of it.
