Memorize and Reflect

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command." (John 15:13-14 )


Prayer Direction

God, I realize I am the object of your love, and there is no greater love than your love for me. You gave up your life for me and you call me friend, if I choose to obey you.


“Live It!” Challenge

Honest Evaluation: What are three areas in your life you struggle to obey God’s commands? What needs to change so you can and will obey? What needs to go away?
