Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, we come before you with hearts full of gratitude for your boundless and unconditional love. As we embark on this journey of reflection and creativity, help us to fully grasp the depth of your love for us and inspire us to share that love with others. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

 

REFLECTION

Reflect on the verses from Romans 8:38-39. Contemplate the powerful message that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Consider how this assurance of God’s unwavering love can bring comfort and confidence into your life.  

MEMORIZING THE VERSE

Write down the verses, Romans 8:38-39, and commit them to memory. Let them serve as a constant reminder of God’s unbreakable love for you.  

CREATING AND MEDITATING

In this part of the devotional, you have the option to choose between two creative activities:

1. Love Collage: Create a collage that represents God’s love for you. Use images, words, and symbols that convey the depth and breadth of His love. As you work on the collage, meditate on how God’s love has impacted your life.
2. Love Letter: Write a letter to God expressing your feelings about His unconditional love. Pour out your thoughts and emotions on paper, acknowledging the moments when you’ve felt His love most deeply.

 

TAKING ACTION AND APPLYING

Consider practical ways to embrace and share God’s unconditional love:

1. Acts of Kindness: Make an intentional effort to show love and kindness to others, reflecting the love God has shown you.
2. Forgiveness: Reflect on any lingering resentments or grudges you may hold. Choose to forgive and release these burdens, experiencing the freedom that comes from God’s love.
3. Sharing God’s Love: Share your faith journey and the impact of God’s love with someone who may be seeking spiritual guidance or encouragement.
4. Loving Yourself: Remember that God’s love extends to you as well. Practice self-compassion and self-love, knowing that you are deeply cherished by your Heavenly Father.

 

Hymn

 

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

1.

Love Divine, all love excelling, Joy of heav’n, to earth come down; Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion; Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart.

2.

Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into every troubled breast; Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find the promised rest. Take away the love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty.

3.

 Come, Almighty, to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; May Thy presence e’er be with us, Never more Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thou wouldst approve, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love.

4.

Finish, then, Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee; Changed from glory into glory Till with Thee we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love and praise.

 

Words: Charles Wesley, Music: Beecher by John Zundel 

 

Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father, we are overwhelmed by the truth of your unconditional love for us. As we conclude this time of reflection and creativity, may we carry the assurance of your love with us into the world, sharing it with all whom we encounter. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

ABOUT OUR MINISTRY

We are a non-denominational Bible-believing Christian Ministry trained and equipped at the Christian Leaders Institute. Even though our Ministry is based on God's Word, the Bible, you need to approach our teachings like the Bereans and always study the Bible yourself to see if what we teach is aligned with what is written in the Bible.  

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Acts 17:11 NIV  

We are only humans who 'stumble in many ways' (James 3:2) and we only 'know in part and we prophesy in part' (1 Corinthians 13:9).
