November 13-- A Little Word for Today God So Loved the World
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
— John 3:16–17 (NASB 1995)
Today I keep coming back to that little word whoever. Wherever you’re reading this, I hope you’ll pause long enough to hear it for yourself. God loved the world, and that includes you.
When we believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He came to save us, that faith draws us to Him. It’s the beginning of our walk with Jesus. As we get to know Him, we learn to trust Him with the things that weigh on us and to follow Him in the ordinary moments of our day.
Maybe tonight you’re sitting on the edge of a hotel bed, far from home, with questions you hardly know how to put into words. You can talk to Him right there. Wherever we are, wherever we’re searching, He’s there.
Lord, thank You for loving us and sending Jesus. Help us take the next step with You today.
Amen.
Thank you for meeting us where we are, Lord.
