VERSE

AND WE HAVE KNOWN AND BELIEVED THE LOVE THAT GOD HATH TO US GOD IS LOVE AND HE THAT DWELLETH IN LOVE DWELLETH IN GOD AND GOD IN HIM - 1 JOHN 4:16

REFLECTION

GOD DWELLS IN US AS A RESULT OF HIS LOVE FOR US. HOW DOES HE DWELL IN US? THROUGH HIS SPIRIT. WE HAVE ACCEPTED THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO RESIDE IN US AND THIS MEANS THAT WE ADHERE TO HIS COUNSEL AND HIS GUIDANCE. WE ARE NOT SLAVES TO OUR SELF-SEEKING LUSTS OR DESIRES. WE ARE NOW ABLE TO RISE ABOVE THEM AND LIVE ACCORDING TO THE WAY OF THE SPIRIT

PRAYER

DEAR GOD, I THANK YOU THAT I AM ONE WITH YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR SPIRIT LIVING WITHIN ME. FATHER, I ASK THAT I WILL ALWAYS BE MINDFUL OF YOUR WILL FOR ME AND NOT WHAT MY SELF-SEEKING LUSTFUL DESIRES. IN JESUS NAME, I PRAY. AMEN.
