TODAY'S Opportunity: by Sarah Young

The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. — Psalm 121:8

When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” — John 8:12

There is Peace and fullness of Joy in My loving Presence.

Look for Me as you go through this day — I am eager to be found by you. I never lose sight of you; I watch over you continually. However, there are many ways you can lose sight of Me. Most of these are just temporary distractions, which abound in the world. The remedy is simple: Remind yourself that I am with you.

A much more serious problem is forsaking your First Love. If you realize this has happened, repent and run back to Me. Confess the idols that have drawn you away from Me. Take time to receive My forgiveness with thanksgiving. Collaborate with Me in rearranging your priorities — making Me first in your life. As you spend time in My Presence, think about who I Am: King of the universe, Light of the world. Bask in this Light of Life so that you can reflect Me to others. While you are delighting in Me, I fill you up with Love, Joy, and Peace.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. — Galatians 5:22–23

“Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.” — Revelation 2:4
