Heartlight Daily Devotional  Thursday, April 6, 2006


This is how we know love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. 
And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
--1 John 3:16
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
What does it mean to lay down our lives for our brothers? Sounds 
pretty extravagant, but the next verse in 1 John 3 reminds us that 
most often it's very simple: if we have a brother or sister in Christ 
with needs, we give up what we have to fill that need!

MY PRAYER...
Lord God Almighty, I am convicted by your sacrifice and ask for eyes 
to see and grace to act when my brothers and sisters are in need. 
Through the name of Jesus I ask this. Amen.

The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
         ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
