❤️INSPIRATION❤️ The Lord's Supper, or "Communion," is a special time for believers to remember the great sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross. The wine represents his shed blood and the bread his broken body. To approach such a solemn ceremony with a flippant attitude is to disrespect Christ and his sacrifice for sin. ❤️PRAYER❤️ When I take communion with Your people at church, Lord, let me examine myself and ensure that I drink and eat respectfully and without unconfessed sin in my life. But let me have communion with You at all times, not only during the Lord's Supper or at church. May I have fellowship with You and Your Son Jesus and with all of Your children every day. Amen. #fyp #fypシ #christian #prayer #scripture #love #faith #devotional #inspiration #Godisgood

❤️INSPIRATION❤️ Christ has fulfilled the Law, keeping it perfectly while he walks the earth. His righteous life becomes the basis of our justification, through faith, before God. Everyone who believes has an interest in his blood shed on the cross. Everyone who confesses, as it were, his sins and reaches out his hand to place it on the Lamb of God, has his guilt borne by him and receives his righteousness from him. ❤️PRAYER❤️ Lord, how foolish to try to keep the Law so as to earn salvation, when I am not able to keep it and Your Son has already kept it to perfection. Those who seek salvation by some man-invented way forsake their own mercy and walk down the broad path that leads to destruction. I thank you for Your grace-gift of Christ's righteousness, without which I could never stand before You. Amen. #fyp #fypシ #christian #prayer #scripture #love #faith #devotional #inspiration #Godisgood

❤️INSPIRATION❤️ Although Paul worked to support himself as a tent-maker, he did not despise others who were supported financially to do their ministry. In fact, he said here that God had ordained it that way, that those whom he called to preach the Gospel should receive offerings from their hearers on which they could live. ❤️PRAYER❤️ You, Lord, have called Your servants to many different callings. Some You have given the privilege to be pastors, missionaries, evangelists, and other full-time Christian workers. It is only right that we who benefit from their ministry should be willing to support them financially as we are able. And let us be willing to give for the sake of others who may hear their Biblical message as well. Amen. #fyp #fypシ #christian #prayer #scripture #love #faith #devotional #inspiration #Godisgood

❤️INSPIRATION❤️ Even as the Holy Spirit raises up the body of Jesus from the grave, so will He raise up the bodies of all believers who have died. God will not leave the work of redemption incomplete, but will raise up and change even our bodies. He will give us a new body fit for life in his everlasting Kingdom. ❤️PRAYER❤️ Lord God, we look forward to the day when we will live with You forever in a new heaven and new earth in a glorified body. We cannot imagine much what that future existence will be like, but we know it will be far better than our present state. The Spirit who raised up Christ will raise us up also and give us a body like unto his glorious resurrection body. We await that day with joy. Amen. #fyp #fypシ #christian #prayer #scripture #love #faith #devotional #inspiration #Godisgood

❤️INSPIRATION❤️ While we can use the things of this world, of this earthly existence, we must not trust in them. We must not set our affections and hopes on them, for they are passing away. The whole "fashion" of this world is going to change, so that the next world will be radically different from it. We should be focusing on the things that will last into the next world and forever. ❤️PRAYER❤️ We know, Lord, that it is easy for us to get too focused on the passing things of this life and to forget the eternal things that matter most. Help us to hold this world's goods "loosely" and not trust in them but instead in You. You are our inheritance, our portion, and our everlasting reward. Amen. #fyp #fypシ #christian #prayer #scripture #love #faith #devotional #inspiration #Godisgood

❤️INSPIRATION❤️ This verse references the prophecy in Micah confirming that Jesus Christ, born in Bethlehem, is fulfilling the prophecy. As believers, we know that the birth of Christ opened the doors for our salvation. Even though he appeared as a mere babe in a manger, he rose to become the Savior of the world and stands at the right hand of God. ❤️PRAYER❤️ Dear God, thank you for sending Your son, Jesus Christ, and fulfilling the prophecies of the Old Testament. When I start to doubt Your return, may I remember how the Bible proves Your promises are true multiple times through fulfilled prophecies. May I live a life full of faith and share the good news of Your son with others. In Jesus' name, amen. #fyp #fypシ #christian #prayer #scripture #love #faith #devotional #inspiration #Godisgood

❤️INSPIRATION❤️ Is there anything you are keeping hidden or secret from your family and friends? Why? When we sin or do evil, we try to keep it hidden because we know it is wrong and we are ashamed. In this way, darkness avoids the light for fear of being seen. Because God is holy, no sin can be hidden from him. All sin will be exposed. If you have sinned and are hiding, confess and repent! Live in the way that you are not afraid to be in the light! ❤️PRAYER❤️ Dear God, forgive me for my wickedness and the times I tried to hide my sin from You. I know You know my every thought and deed. You will bring all darkness into the light and expose its ugliness because You are holy. I confess my sins before You, O Lord. Help me to turn my life around and live fully in Your light. Help me to live in a way that is blameless in Your eyes. In Jesus' name, amen. #fyp #fypシ #christian #prayer #scripture #love #faith #devotional #inspiration #Godisgood

❤️INSPIRATION❤️ It is tempting to hoard what we receive – especially when we feel we have earned it. However, we must recognize that all good things come from God. These enrichments are gifts from the Lord, and they are not meant to be hoarded. Instead, we should use the bounty we have been blessed with to bless others. When we give to charities or the church to help those in need, our generosity will cause others to thank God. ❤️PRAYER❤️ Dear God, we know that all good things come from You. You have blessed us with more than we need. Forgive us for the times we have been selfish and have not used what we have been given to help others. Give us generous hearts so that we may bless others so they will thank you, O Lord. Thank you for all You have given. May we use this bounty to bring others to You. In Jesus' name, amen. #fyp #fypシ #christian #prayer #scripture #love #faith #devotional #inspiration #Godisgood

❤️INSPIRATION❤️ If you are feeling far from God, thank him. Acknowledge his creation and all the many blessings in your life. Reflect on all he has done. Think about how all the ways he blessed those before you for generations and how he still knows your name. When you begin to have an attitude of constant thankfulness and prayer, you will feel yourself moving closer to God. Throughout the day, thank God in your prayers. ❤️PRAYER❤️ Dear God, You have blessed my life abundantly. May I remember the ways You have blessed all those before me. You are good, Father. You care for Your children. When I begin to act ungrateful or fail to thank you, please forgive me and redirect my heart to one of thanksgiving. O Lord, may Your name forever be on my lips both day and night. In Jesus' name, amen. #fyp #fypシ #christian #prayer #scripture #love #faith #devotional #inspiration #Godisgood

Ok I got 6 pages of Valentine's cards finished for my youth group...there are various styles and colors...all of them feature Jesus and the scripture verse John 3:16...they're all sized and fit onto regular copy paper for printing and can then be cut out. Thinking on laminating some for class. Free for personal and classroom use by anyone. 🙏❤️

❤️INSPIRATION❤️ It is folly for men to believe that they may overcome their nature. Today there is the talk of genetic modifications to plants and humans, to build ever more expensive missions into space. These aren't inherent sins, but there is a danger that what animates this search to overcome ourselves and our boundaries is arrogance. We must make sure that with advances, it is done with trust in Gods' overall design. No matter what we can claim to create or claim here on earth, our best will always be second to God. ❤️PRAYER❤️ Lord God Almighty, creator of the Heaven and the earth, awesome is Your power and meek are we. Bolster our faith to trust in Your design, and let us not stray from Your light in either pride or arrogance. For we are powerless against You Lord, and our will is Yours. Amen. #fyp #fypシ #christian #prayer #scripture #love #faith #devotional #inspiration #Godisgood

❤️INSPIRATION❤️ The abhorrence God shows towards certain things is worth taking note of. It may surprise non-believers to discover that 'hate' is used very rarely in the Bible when it comes to God, since it is evident He is much more a loving and merciful Father to us. The only things God truly hates are those sins that may take His children from him, the sins of pride or arrogance, evil deeds and the lies that both create the climate to commit the former acts, and helps sustain them. ❤️PRAYER❤️ God Almighty, Heavenly Father, guide me away from all sin, particularly those who drive a division between my spirit and Your light. For I know the sins You abhor the most Lord, and will as Your servant solemnly swear to stay with thee on the path of the righteous. Amen. #fyp #fypシ #christian #prayer #scripture #love #faith #devotional #inspiration #Godisgood

❤️INSPIRATION❤️ The covenant between us and God is a sacred one, and one wherein we should forever feel free to talk to the Almighty Lord about anything and everything. This might seem redundant, seeing as the Lord already knows all that resides in your heart. Yet, this is wrongheaded. Great prayers are like superb conversations. Just as one wouldn't expect an interesting conversation to be formulaic, but instead spontaneous and dynamic, so too one explores and finds out what one understands of something by 'thinking through your mouth'. Prayer is not simply a stale routine, but rather a dialogue, a game of improvisation and exploration with God, who loves to listen. ❤️PRAYER❤️ Almighty Father I thank you for hearing my prayers, for listening to Your humble servant Lord, who wishes to understand better all things divine and true. Help me accomplish this as my spirit communes with You in praise and continued prayer. Amen. #fyp #fypシ #christian #prayer #scripture #love #faith #devotional #inspiration #Godisgood
