Is The LORD First In Your Heart?

August 23, 2026

What does it mean to truly love the Lord? This verse gives us the answer: with all our heart, soul, and strength.

God does not want only a small part of our lives. He wants to be first in our thoughts, our decisions, our relationships, and everything we do. When we love Him wholeheartedly, serving Him is not just a duty—it becomes a joy.

Our love for God is shown in the way we obey His Word, spend time with Him in prayer, and share His love with others. We will never love Him perfectly, but every day we can choose to love Him more.

Today, ask yourself: Is the Lord first in my heart?

And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:5

Love And Forgive

August 20, 2026

Do you have someone you will not forgive?

Forgiveness is a choice. We can harbor that hurt and not forgive or you can choose to forgive and try to mend that broken relationship.

If restoration is not possible, then forgive that person in your heart. Pray for those who despite fully use use you, the Bible tells us. It is hard to hold onto not forgiving when you genuinely pray for that person.

Decide today and start to pray for that one who has hurt you. You will have a freedom you cannot imagine until you do.

What Is True Love?

June 24, 2026

 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

What do you think of when you hear the word love? You may think of your spouse, your children.

We use the word love about material things. “ I love my house”

What is true love? The best example is found in the familiar verse, John 3:16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God’s love is the greatest love we can experience. He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin. 

Because of His great love we can have eternal life. 

Have you accepted His love?

Love One Another

June 17, 2026

In a world that often encourages us to look out for ourselves first, Jesus gives us a higher calling—to love others the way He loves us. His love is patient, forgiving, sacrificial, and unconditional. It reaches beyond differences, overlooks faults, and seeks the good of others.

As Christians, we are not simply asked to be kind when it is easy. We are commanded to love as Christ loved us. When we show compassion, offer forgiveness, lend a helping hand, or share the Gospel, we reflect the love of Jesus to a world that desperately needs Him.

Today, ask the Lord to help you love others through His strength and grace. One act of Christlike love can make an eternal difference in someone’s life.


Lord, help me to love others as You have loved me. Let Your love shine through my words, actions, and attitudes today.

Mistletoe Symbolizes God’s Love To us!

December 9, 2025

Mistletoe symbolizes the love we are able to offer to others only because of Christ who “first loves us.”

This year, tell family and friends about the true meaning of mistletoe. 

Be sure to let them know that the corresponding kiss is a symbol of peace, romance and the love of a Heavenly Father who sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross, was buried and rose again on the third day, as the payment for all our sins.

God’s love for us is the true meaning of Christmas.

1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us

Anna, Woman Who Worshiped God

December 27, 2024

Anna, a prophet, was also there in the Temple. She was the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, and was very old. She was a widow, for her husband had died when they had been married only seven years.

Probably, after her husbands death, Anna would have been encouraged to get married again and have children. 

Anna, chose to stay single. She chose to serve the Lord. She chose to fast and pray, worshiping the Lord day and night. She told people the news of the Savior that was coming, no matter how long it might be before he came. 

She knew her purpose and she didn’t let anyone’s opinions or comments keep her from it. Then Anna saw Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus in the temple and knew her purpose had been fulfilled.

Luke 2:36-38 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption.

Do You Truly Love Your Neighbor?

April 8, 2024

Do you find it hard to love some people? Maybe it is a fellow worker, a disagreeable neighbor, someone in your family, a person of another race or religion.

It is a natural reaction to not love someone who has hurt you, but that is the problem. It is a “natural” reaction. The Bible tells us in Ephesians as Christians to put off the old man which is corrupt and put on the new man, which is holy.

How then do we overcome the lack of love in our lives? Start to pray for that person if it is an individual. Ask God to change your heart if it is a group of people.

We cannot be an obedient Christian or have God’s blessings if we have hate in our heart.

Walk in Love!
