Love God Greatly: God With UsSample

SOAP – John 1:14
In the beginning, before existence, God was. Long before He came to this earth wrapped in flesh, before existence, Jesus was. Long before He was poured out at Pentecost, before existence, the Holy Spirit was. God as Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit existed as One in all eternity. Through Jesus, believers in Him have unfiltered access to God and have been filled with the Holy Spirit for abundant life and light. We could not reach or touch our holy God, but we could cling to and grab hold of a holy Jesus. Jesus is our example of light, compassion, love, mercy, forgiveness, and peace in this dark world.

In your beginning…in the beginning of your day, in the beginning of your difficulties, in the beginning of your frustrations or your fear, what do you cling to? In what circumstance might you be forgetting your significance to Jesus?

Father God, You are the God who was, and is, and is to come. Your Hand has touched my life from the beginning of eternity. I thank You, Lord, that I have been significant to You from the beginning. I thank You, Lord, that not one of my hurts, not one of my painful experiences, not one thing that I have suffered is insignificant, nor is it a surprise to You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
