We can be involved in the mission of God by helping and blessing those in need.

When we see and connect with another being, we should remember that person is also made in God’s image.

Life is about deep and lasting relationships. God is love and he created you in his image to learn to love him and to love others with his love.

God’s Spirit was actively involved in the creation of the heavens and the earth. And he is still actively involved in our world today. Through his Holy Spirit, God continues to care for and protect you.

You are a child of God. Take time to connect with God, your Father and rest in this truth today.

The connectedness of the universe reveals something of God. He is relational. He wants to connect with his creation.

God’s Word compels us to repent – to change our minds about what we have done – and to ask God for his forgiveness. Then, in Holy Spirit power, we must live like forgiven people.

When you share your faith with others, don’t forget the power behind the empty tomb!

If you haven’t yet received the Holy Spirit’s power, then invite the Holy Spirit in today. If you have but you feel you need a fresh infilling of his power and might, invite him in today.

You can ask God for opportunities to use the gifts he has given you to serve him and in his Holy Spirit’s power – just like Peter – you can take those opportunities with confidence. You will be amazed what God can do through you!

As you tell your story and about the difference God’s power makes in your life, suddenly you’re sharing the Good News about Jesus!

Jesus calls us to take the women around us seriously too, especially any who might be seen as outcasts or marginalised in society. Women are as key to future of the church as anyone else. Everyone matters to God.

Mary was one of Jesus’ disciples. She chose to sit at his feet to listen and learn from him. She showed Jesus she was a woman of thoughtful and worshipful action by anointing him with oil before his crucifixion. And she led Jews to Jesus to witness his miracle of raising her brother from the dead.

Mary is unquestionably a hero of our faith. She showed remarkable courage and faithfulness to God. We can imitate her faith and her courage in obeying God’s call and being available to be used by him.

God’s redemption ensures dignity, leadership, and partnership for all human beings. If at times you feel like a failure, or an outsider, remember Rahab trusted in God and was used mightily by him.

Eve is typical of all of us – men, women and children. We consistently repeat her mistake. Rather than blaming Eve for our plight, we should instead learn from her and keep God in our decision-making process.
