Today’s Scripture

“Do you know of any parent who would give his hungry child, who asked for food, a plate of rocks instead? Or when asked for a piece of fish, what parent would offer his child a snake instead? If you, imperfect as you are, know how to lovingly take care of your children and give them what’s best, how much more ready is your heavenly Father to give wonderful gifts to those who ask him?” “In everything you do, be careful to treat others in the same way you’d want them to treat you, for that is the essence of all the teachings of the Law and the Prophets.” “Come to God through the narrow gate, because the wide gate and broad path is the way that leads to destruction—nearly everyone chooses that crowded road! The narrow gate and the difficult way leads to eternal life—so few even find it!”

Matthew 7:9-14

Today’s Thought

God wants to and will take care of you in every area of your life… Remember to treat everyone you come in contact with the same level of respect you want to be treated with… Sow the love you have received from God to others, and God will flood you with His love…

Today’s Confession

Thank you, Lord, for your love. Thank you for helping me to always sow love and treat those around me with respect. Help to smooth out any rough patches in my character and help me walk in love at a greater level.
