First Quarter
I come before You, Lord, and confess my sins both known and unknown. Purify me that my walk will be in the path of righteousness. I know that the cross You carried for me was for my past, present, and future sins. Yet, it grieves my heart to stumble and at the same time it is relief to know my desires of this world are passing away. God knows my love because I am obedient to His Word.
To be called a child of God is a blessing. Am I worthy to be a younger Brother of Jesus? It is another blessing to be purified just by believing who He really is! Living in Him I have no sinful desire to continue living in sin. My sphere of love of Christ has spread amid my family, friends, neighbors, and Veterans.
I love the MSG translation of John 14:15-16 “If you love me, show it by doing what I’ve told you. I will talk to the Father, and he’ll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you.” I believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the One who loves me, the Man who lightened my burdens, and gave me a new heart!
My joy comes when the Holy Spirit leads me to add another to the God-breathed Word of truth through Daily Bible Verse and Prayer. I follow that which is good because I am born of God. My true faith works by love and I keep a close watch on this heart of mine as well as my mouth. I pray for humility as my works are for God’s Glory.
