For my small group

Remember God's never-failing and unfaltering promise:
From Romans 8: 28-39

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Pray for a life of full devotion to God:
More than feelings and emotions, More than just a passing flame
I am tired of pretending so tired of the games.
More than going through the motions, More than all this compromise

More than proof of Your existence, More than trusting what I see
All I need to know for this life is that You're alive in me.
More than answers to my questions, More than doubting needs resolve

I want You to be everything to me
Inside my thoughts and through my life
I want to know Your peace

I want You to be everything to me
No rival throne, No equal love
No other to compete

More than living life in comfort, More than what You do for me
Would You teach me Lord to listen?
Would You draw me to my knees?
More than anything I lived for, More than all my hopes and dreams

Be all my hope, Be all my desire
May I be refined
Refined in Your fire
Lord all I want and all that I need
Is for You to be everything to me

Everything to Me, Starfield

Matthew 22:36-38
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment.
