We often say that we are too busy for worship – but Jesus was very busy man who still make time for worship. It was high on his list of priorities – how about you?

Jesus worshipped in private, and he worshipped with others. Many of us miss out because we don’t value both of these ways of worshipping.

Who did Jesus worship? He worshipped God the Father, the Creator of all.

Jesus is not just the one we worship. During His time on earth He himself was a worshipper, giving glory to God the Father in all He did.

How could Jesus love so extravagantly? His love was an overflow of the love he received from the Father. Today, know yourself to be loved, and let God’s love spill out of you to others.

Jesus loved those who nobody else wanted to love. Nobody is too far gone for His love. Is anybody too far gone for our love?

Jesus not only loved those closest to Him, He loved those who were His enemies. We should too.

Jesus’ love started with those closest to him. He was no lone ranger – he gathered people around him to do life with, and loved them to the end. How are you loving those closest to you?

When we are tempted to do something not of God, it’s important that we keep believing in the Spirit’s power. The power of God is stronger than the power of the enemy, and we can resist temptation because we believe this!

My strategy to fight off temptation begins with being aware of my own struggles. If I know where to expect temptation, I can be ready for it before it even comes.

God spoke to me went I went for a run. Are your ears open to hear from him, even in the strangest places?

Haralan Popov was finally released from prison, and found something interesting about the church outside the prison wall.
