👋 Good morning, friends!

As you step into this new day, remember that you're stepping into an opportunity to live out your faith and to make a difference in the world around you. You are important, valued, and loved by God. Let's walk into this day together, with our eyes fixed on Him.

Verse of the Day

Sometimes it feels like the world places a value on us based on our achievements, our wealth, or our social status. We're encouraged to strive for success, to gain the world. But Jesus challenges this perspective with a powerful question: what's the use of gaining the world if we lose our soul in the process?

Today, let's reflect on our true value. It's not measured in worldly possessions but in our connection with God, in how we love and serve others, in our kindness and compassion. In the end, it's the health of our souls that matters, not the size of our bank accounts. So let's ensure we're investing in the right place.

Read Mark 8:36 in full for context.

Prayer of the Day

Dear God,

As I start this new day, help me to remember what's truly important. Keep my focus on nurturing my soul and my relationship with You, rather than chasing after worldly gains. Give me a heart that values people over possessions and help me to love as You love. Guide me today, Lord, in every decision I make and every step I take.

In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Quote of the Day

"There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind."

— C.S. Lewis

A Christian newsletter we highly recommend

A group of Christian millennials think they’ve fixed the news…

It’s called The Pour Over, and it has two goals:

1. Keep its readers informed about world events

2. Keep its readers focused on Christ

That means providing politically neutral coverage of events and pairing it with brief Biblical reminders.

The question is… are they hitting the mark? See what you think, subscribe in just one click.
