Inspiration
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:1
Reading and Learning
We cannot stop or in any way diminish God's flow of love toward us.
Nothing can move us from the position of being loved by God.
Nothing can change the way God feels about us.
Nothing can alter the fact that God will continue to love us no matter what.
Receiving God's love heals us on the inside.
Receiving God's love allows us to feel value, worth, and dignity.
Receiving God's love allows us to respect ourselves.
Receiving God's love motivates us to discipline ourselves.
Receiving God's love enables us to return His love, love ourselves, and love others.
We are not only chosen by God, we are eternally loved by God.

In addition to his online schoolwork today, Michael enjoyed a wonderful youth Bible study via Zoom.
The preschoolers worked hard on alphabet dot to dot pictures, writing the letter Bb, and more.
Outdoor Fun
Playing pitch and catch was the focus of a lot of our outside time today. Of course the chicken and puppies also got their fair share of attention.
In the Kitchen
I didn't cook a big breakfast or dinner, but for lunch we had chicken wings, butter bread, applesauce and green beans.
On My Mind
So many problems would be solved if every person would fully realize, without a doubt, the depth of God's love for them. In my own life, as I have come to a deeper understanding of God's love for me, I have found myself less so much more a peace. When I am fully aware of and centered in that love I know I have no need to fear anything. Criticism from others pales because the love and value God bestows on me cannot be diminished by that criticism. Fear of lack recedes because I know that God has promised to provide, and because He loves me He will not break his promise to me. I will never be alone because His loving presence is always with me. I don't need to feel "less than" because I (and every other human on earth) am created in His image, created with a purpose, and am eternally loved. And, because I am secure in that love, I don't need to fight to be seen. I don't need to make sure my argument is heard and understood. I don't need to prove myself or make a name for myself. I know who I am and Whose I am and that makes all the difference in the world!
Quote of the Day
No matter what storm you face, you need to know that God loves you. He has not abandoned you.
