God's Love - Romans 8:38-39 (NIV)

 What does the Bible tell us about God's love?

In reverence, we recognize the depth of Your unfailing love as declared in Romans 8:38-39. Lord, we are deeply grateful for the assurance that nothing can separate us from your love once we are in Christ Jesus our Lord. We need to know we are loved by you every moment of the day.

We thank You for the security and comfort that your love provides, transcending all circumstances and surpassing all understanding. In moments of joy and moments of sorrow, may we find solace in the unchanging nature of your love.

Lord, we acknowledge our dependence on you and our need for your presence in every little part of our lives. Help us to live as faithful witnesses, demonstrating compassion, forgiveness, and grace to those around us. Help us to recognize those in need. May Your love flow through us, touching the lives of others and drawing them closer to you.

Father, we surrender ourselves to your will, trusting in your perfect love that casts out all fear. Protect us, lead, guide and direct us in all your ways.

In Jesus' holy name, we pray, Amen.

 

Happy Passover!

"At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well. Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead." 

Exodus 12:29-30 (NIV)

 "Then Moses said to the people, “Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery, because the Lord brought you out of it with a mighty hand. Eat nothing containing yeast. Today, in the month of

Aviv, you are leaving."

Exodus 13:3-4 (NIV)

These passages provide insight into the Passover/Pesach event and its significance in the context of the Exodus narrative. The month of Aviv, also known as Nisan, is the first month of the Hebrew calendar, corresponding roughly to March or April in the Gregorian calendar. These scriptures symbolize the liberation of the Israelites from bondage and the beginning of their journey toward freedom and the 

fulfillment of God's promises.

"Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed;

every one was fulfilled."

Joshua 21:45 (NIV)

We are reminded of your mighty acts of deliverance. Just as you brought your people out of bondage in Egypt, you continue to guide and protect us today. We thank you for the blessings of freedom and salvation that we enjoy because of your love and faithfulness. Help us to remember your promises and to trust in your provision for our lives.

~ Amen
