SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY   Luke 6:20-23

²⁰ Jesus looked at his followers and said,“You people who are poor are blessed,
    Because the kingdom of God belongs to you.
²¹ You people who are now hungry are blessed,
    Because you will be satisfied.
You people who are now crying are blessed,
    Because you will laugh with joy.²² “People will hate you, shut you out, insult you, and say you are evil because you follow the Son of Man. But when they do, you will be blessed. ²³ Be full of joy at that time, because you have a great reward in heaven. Their ancestors did the same things to the prophets.

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Father, we will be eternally grateful that You sent Jesus to earth to seek and to save those lost in their transgressions and sins. You received people like Nicodemus, a man of authority, who secretly came to Jesus in the night where he sought answers to life’s most important questions. You sought out people, like the Samaritan woman, despised by the Jews and an outcast among her own as she lived a promiscuous life. Their stories represent various ethnic, economic, and lifestyle choices but the one common thing they shared is true of all humankind. They both had a sin problem that could be cured only by Jesus, the One who wants to heal our soul’s diseases. Thank You for Jesus, the sinless Lamb of God, who came down from heaven, into the world, bearing witness unto the truth that we are indeed sinners in need of forgiveness. Thank You for not only bearing witness but also for providing the answer. Amen.

MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE!
