Bring

This one thing I am certain of—he is Immanuel.

When we reflect from the past to the present, we have the luxury of evaluating how the past events formed us.

Think of a person you love who is walking far from God…in a danger zone. Today pray that God will protect them, open their eyes, and bring them back home.

God will bring you back home, too, if you let Him. He wants you to be His child. He desires to be your God. He will take the heart that is divided and make it fully His.

How beautiful are the feet of those who go across the ocean (or across the street) to bring good news and proclaim the peace with God that can only come through Jesus!

Too many people use the guilt and shame of sin as a barrier between themselves and God. Many believe they must clean up their acts before God will accept them. The problem with that thinking is this: no one can clean up their life on their own. Only Jesus can do that. Lay your sin—the sin He died for—before Him and let His forgiveness wash over your heart.
