1 John 4:19

We love, because He first loved us.

Ephesians 5:1-2

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

1 John 4:7-8

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Colossians 3:14

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Romans 13:8-10

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.

Philippians 2:5-8

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross.

Hebrews 5:8-9

Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him,

2 Corinthians 3:15-18

but whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

Galatians 5:19-26

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, idolatry, witchcraft, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let’s follow the Spirit as well. Let’s not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.

Psalms 91:1

Security of One Who Trusts in the LORD.

One who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 Corinthians 3:18

But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

Psalms 27:1-5

The LORD is my light and my salvation;

Whom should I fear?

The LORD is the strength (defense) of my life; Whom should I afraid ?

When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.

If an army encamps against me,

My heart will not fear;

If war arises against me,

In spite of this I am confident.

One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,

To behold the beauty of the LORD

And to meditate in His temple.

For on the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; He will hide me in the secret place of His tent; He will lift me up on a rock.

Luke 18:1

Parables on Prayer

Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not become discouraged,

Luke 18:7-8

now, will God not bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night, and will He delay long for them? I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”

Romans 8:11-16

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— for if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons and daughters of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,

redeeming time and making the most of every opportunity is our focus

1. Redeemed Time – Jesus

Jesus is the ultimate example of redeeming time. Throughout His ministry, He stayed laser-focused on His mission. In

John 9:4, He said, "As long as it is day, we must do the works of Him who sent me." Even though He had just three years of ministry, He used every moment to fulfill His Father’s will. Jesus prioritized time in prayer, time with people, and time for rest, showing us how to live fully in the moment while staying focused on our purpose.

2. Redeemed Time – Esther

Esther was placed in a royal position for a specific time and purpose. She could have chosen to remain silent when her people were threatened, but instead, she acted. In Esther 4:14, Mordecai reminds her, "And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Esther seized the moment, recognizing that her time had a divine purpose.

3. Lost Time – Samson

Samson, however, lost his focus. God gave him great strength, but he wasted his time pursuing personal desires rather than God's call. In

Judges 16, we see Samson got distracted from his mission. Samson failed to redeem the time, and it cost him his strength, his freedom, and ultimately, his life. Though he repented at the end, much time was lost due to his distractions.

Proverbs 25:2

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,

But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

Exodus 3:3-4 – "So Moses thought, ‘I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.’ When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, ‘Moses! Moses!’ And Moses said, ‘Here I am.’"
