If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. (John 13:14).

Jesus was a teacher extraordinaire! Not only did He explain with words, but He also used examples easily understood by common people. Jesus taught His disciples, including you and me, humility and love when He knelt down and washed the disciples’ feet.

But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world (Galatians 6:14).

This devotion talks about children in church and the theme of focusing on the cross.

Always the Cross

Always the Cross by Terri Bentley, Garden Valley, ID

A devotion excerpted from Alma Kern's book, You Are Special.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).

This morning I had prayed my day would be worthwhile in God’s sight. This incident must have been part of God’s plan. He used me to answer my neighbor’s prayer.

Let God Use You

This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins (1 John 4:10 NIV).

Last month, the stores were filled with red and pink. … But now it’s March, and where have all the valentines gone? The sugar rush has long since faded, and even some relationships of February may not have lasted longer than the beautiful bouquets. For a holiday that boasts so much about love, it often falls short. Perhaps that is because the type of love we too often focus on is actually not love at all. What, then, is love?

Love's Atoning Sacrifice

Love’s Atoning Sacrifice by Lisa Clark, St. Louis, Missouri

I love you with an everlasting love (Jer. 31:3 NIV).

God loves each of us with an everlasting love that will never end or vanish. Earthly love, as we know, can come and go, but the Lord has given us the gift of His love. In the power of the Holy Spirit, we are always filled to overflowing with this love. It is not for us to keep to ourselves, but to share in all we do and say with those He places in our lives. 

Loves Me Forever and Ever

Serve the LORD with gladness! (Psalm 100:2a)

Have you had a unique opportunity in your life? Whatever opportunities you have enjoyed, today there is an opportunity for each of us. That opportunity or “possibility of doing something” is Lent! Lent is an opportunity. Lent is a favorable juncture of time where we are given the gift of 40 days to prepare for Easter. This opportunity begins on Ash Wednesday. For 40 weekdays, we pause, remember, and contemplate what God has done and continues to do for us. So, what might be your “opportunity” this Lenten season?
