Soul Care New Every Morning from The Global Church of the Nazarene's Clergy Development Office of Lenexa, Kansas, United States for Monday, 20 April 2015 "[On the contrary,] they are new every morning! How great your faithfulness!" Lamentations 3:23Good Morning, Ministry Partner:
Be Encouraged by God's Word:
Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness before God; and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commandments and do what pleases him. And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.[1 John 3:18-23, NRSV]
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
Love does not dominate; it cultivates.[Johann Wolfgang Goethe]
Pray Together with Us:
Dear God,
I am so afraid to open my clenched fists!
Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold on to?
Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands?
Please help me to gradually open my hands
and to discover that I am not what I own,
but what you want to give me.[Henri Nouwen]
