Goodness and Love Pursue Me

Good morning!

Today is Fellowship Friday - The Love Accelerator

(You can learn more about the 7 Accelerators here)

1 John 1:7 says, "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." 

To walk in the light is also to walk in love, and the indicator is that we have fellowship with one another. 

If there are any strained relationships, how could you take steps toward restored fellowship today?

And make it a priority to fellowship with people today. 

Here is today's communion meditation. 

This month we are talking about Resetting the Imagination. 

Yesterday we talked about stirring Deuteronomy 28:2 into our imagination which says, "And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the LORD your God."

You may ask yourself, "how do I know if I qualify for obeying God's voice?'

But the good news is that Jesus obeyed perfectly, and we've been given his righteousness. 

God is pursuing us with his blessings. 

Psalm 23:6 says, "Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever."

The word for unfailing love in Hebrew is "hesed," which means God's covenant commitment to grace and love. 

Because of the obedience of Jesus God is pursuing us with His blessings, goodness, and hesed.

In today's communion we are asking God to help us reset our imagination to him pursuing us with all the good things he has for us. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

If you want to improve in an endurance or distance event one of the best methods I've found is to work on getting faster at shorter distances so that you can cruise at a higher level. For example, if you want to run a mile under 8 minutes, you must be able to easily run one quarter of a mile in less than 2 minutes. Once you can run a quarter mile well below 2 minutes, it will be much easier to break an 8 minute mile, because the pace won't feel that fast to you. 

 I am praying for you.
