📖 Verse of the Day

Reflection:

There's nothing stingy about Jesus. When He told us why He came, He mentioned a thief first, someone who only ever comes to take. Then He spoke about Himself, and the difference couldn't be clearer. Jesus came to give, and what He gives is life "to the full."

Just listen to what He says about His own in this same chapter. He calls them by name. He lays down His life for them. No one can snatch them out of His hand. And He's talking about you. If you ever wonder where you stand with Him, you can look right here.

The thief still has a voice, though, and Jesus shows you how to recognize it. All it ever does is take. His voice may ask you to change, but it never comes to rob you. Every time He speaks, He's leading you toward life, and toward more of Him.

And that voice belongs to the kindest, most generous Friend you'll ever have.

Ask Yourself:

• If a voice keeps taking from me, what would Jesus say instead?

• What would a full life with Jesus look like for me right now?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Lord Jesus,

I want to know Your voice so well that I'd recognize it anywhere, from the very first word.

If other voices ever try to talk me out of the life You give, keep me close enough to hear Yours, and glad to follow wherever You lead. Thank You for calling me by name, and for giving Your own life so I could truly live. Whatever You want to say to me, I'm listening.

In Your precious name, Amen.
