“So rid yourselves of all malicious behavior and deceit.

Don’t just pretend to be good!

Be done with hypocrisy and jealousy and backstabbing.

You  must crave pure spiritual milk so that you can grow into the fullness of your salvation.

Cry out for this nourishment as a baby cries for milk, now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.”

1 Peter 2-3

Father, I come before Your throne of mercy  with a yielded heart,  and quieted spirit…

Your glory and honor is the cry of my soul..

Love and tenderness  is the example You have set before me…

“Through Christ you have come to trust in God.  And because God raised Christ

from the dead and gave Him great glory, your faith and hope can be placed

confidently in God.  Now you can have sincere love for each other as brothers and

sisters because you were cleansed from your sins when you accepted the truth of

the Good News. 

So see to it that you really do love each other intensely with all your hearts.

For you have been born again, Your new life did not come from your earthly parents because the life they gave you will end in death.

But this new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.  

As the prophet says, “people are like grass that dies away; their beauty fades as quickly as the beauty of wildflowers.

The grass withers, and the flowers fall away But the word of the Lord will last forever…”

1 Peter 21-25

I love You, Jesus,

Thank You for loving my soul, and cleansing my heart…

Thank You for Truth…

Hope and compassion…

I am learning, I have a lot to learn…

Your love inspires so much goodness…

Thank You for Your correction and grace…

I give You my day,

May my reflection be pleasing to You…

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,
