Day 2 – Wake me up to God’s heart!
Scripture: John 3:16 (AMP)
16For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life
Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3 (AMP)
3The Lord appeared from of old to me [Israel], saying, Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you
Learn: The reason Jesus needed to die on the cross was because we separated our selves from God when we sin. God knowing that we are sinners still sent His son to die on the cross on our behalf. We don’t deserve life, yet God gives it to us by His son’s death.
Journal: What does today’s scripture say about God’s love towards us? The bible says that God loves us with an everlasting love. Imagine how long you have been on God’s mind before you were born! An earthly father’s heart comes alive when he sees his son/daughter for the first time. What do you think God’s heart did the moment you left God’s imagination into reality on this world?
Scripture: Psalm 139
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
Prayer Starter – God wake me up to your love! Your love is what motivates me to live for Jesus. Your thoughts about me are too great to count. Even though I don’t feel that I deserve your love, I am eternally grateful you choose to love me! Your heart for me is greater than any negative thought I have of myself!
