Jeremiah 31:33 (Written Upon Our Hearts)


Welcome God today with this LIFE Group Devotion (archive, Facebook).

I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (full readings)

Rich's thoughts: If you know of anyone who is doubting the existence of God, I highly recommend that they read C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity. Please have the courage to approach them and place this book in their hands. C.S. Lewis takes the reader through a very logical thought process starting with the idea that everyone (even atheists) have an awareness within them of Right and Wrong. God has left His mark on our hearts, and despite whether or not we believe in God; God believes in us. Lord, give me the courage to reveal God's message to others. Amen.

Sr. Francelle's devotion: Why Worry?

Faith Challenge: Have the courage to approach a friend today who may not believe in God and share with them what God has written on their hearts.

Faith Quote: "The Law of Human Nature, or of Right and Wrong, must be something above and beyond the actual facts of human behavior, and yet quite definitely real - a real law, which none of us made, but which we find pressing on us." - C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Through Christ Our Lord,
Rich
James 1:22
