PRAYER as a Way of Life by Sis. Cristy and
Bro. Rolly Custodio
FOLLOW JESUS AS OUR ROLE MODEL (PART-2)
‘Grace and peace be yours…through the knowledge
of…Jesus our Lord.’ 2 Peter 1:2 NIV
Today’s Devotion
If you think God’s love for you would be stronger
if your faith was stronger, you are wrong. If you think His love would be
deeper if your thoughts and actions were better, you are wrong again. Don’t
confuse God’s love with people’s love. Their love increases with performance
and decreases with mistakes. Not so with God’s love. He loves you just the way
you are, but He refuses to leave you that way.
Max Lucado writes: ‘When
my daughter, Jenna, was a toddler, I used to take her to a park… One day as she
was playing in a sandbox, an ice-cream salesman approached us. I purchased her
a treat, and when I turned to give it to her, I saw her mouth was full of sand…
Did I love her with dirt in her mouth? Absolutely. Was she any less my daughter
with dirt in her mouth? Of course not. Was I going to allow her to keep the
dirt in her mouth? No way. I carried her over to the water fountain and washed
out her mouth. Why? Because I love her.
God does the same for us. He holds us over the
fountain. “Spit out the dirt, honey,” our Father urges. “I’ve got something
better for you.” And so He cleanses us of filth: immorality, dishonesty,
prejudice, bitterness, greed. We don’t enjoy the cleansing; sometimes we even
opt for the dirt over the ice cream. “I can eat dirt if I want to!”… Which is
true – we can. But if we do, the loss is ours. God has a better offer. He wants
us to be just like Jesus.’
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today.
Lord thank you for your unconditional love for us. The Bible says God show his
love for us while we were sinners Christ died for us. Lord thank you that you
did not wait on us to be perfect before you offer an eternal life to us but you
oh Lord shows to us your first love when you sacrifice your life to pay all our
sins as the Bible says in the book of Isaiah all of us choose our own way and all
are gone astray but you choose to die in our behalf so that we who have no hope
can now have hope to received eternal life and enter heaven for your glory In
Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord
I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart
as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the
bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16
that if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but you will have Eternal
Life. Welcome to the family of God. In order to grow in your faith with God

Study, Church Seminars and make God first place in your life with your talents
