Reflecting on the Clarity of God’s Love

From those of us on the Tree Church Daily team, we hope you have had an amazing week in your purposed time with God. We pray that you were challenged and encouraged by God’s word and His presence in your daily life.

Today, we want you to do something simple yet incredibly important. We want you take time to write down or record a voice memo in your phone answering the prompts below. This does not need to be profound, poetic, or polished. It is a record for you to visit later to see and remember all that God is doing in your life. Journaling is a way to remind you of what God is speaking to you. Speaking something out loud or writing it down makes what we are thinking tangible and makes us accountable to it. If God has challenged you or called you to do something specific this past week, making it tangible makes it real. So don’t skip today…today is about faith building, and that is what we pray happens for you.

Before you get started though, let’s pray together:

Jesus,
Your love is sometimes so hard for me to understand. That You would give grace to someone like me…with all my brokenness, my sin, and my failures…is both hard to believe and the most amazing thing ever! I pray the confidence I can have in Your love that comes from the cross would penetrate every area of my life, filling me with thankfulness and worship. I pray that every day Your love for me would shape how I think, speak, and act! Amen.

Here are today’s prompts for you to process through in your written or voice journal:

First, focus on God’s promises to you. What is something new you learned about God’s love for you this week?

Second, focus on your current reality. What is one way you are challenged by the depths of God’s love? How does this impact how you think about yourself?

Last, focus on a step God challenged you to take. How is the truth of God’s love for you going to make difference in your life in the weeks to come?
