Memory Verse Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7
Exodus 15:22-17:7 Psalms 40
“The great and firm foundation of the spiritual life is the offering of ourselves to God and being subject to his will in all things. We must completely forget ourselves, so that we regard ourselves as an object which has been sold and over which we no longer have any rights. We find all our joy in fulfilling God’s pleasure — his happiness, his glory and the fact that he is our great and only delight. Once we have this foundation, all we need to do is spend our lives rejoicing that God is God and being so wholly abandoned to his will that we are quite indifferent as to what we do and equally indifferent as to what use he makes of our activities.” Eighteenth-century Jesuit Jean-Pierre de Caussade
Father, when you made us in the garden, your words still echo true, it is not good for man to be alone. Jesus, praise to the Lamb that was slain. You died birthing the church and raised to sustain it. May we bring new life and sustain the church today through our prayers, words, and action as we do life together in Christ! Amen
