August 15, 2020 our Daily Bread Devotionals :- Running into Love

- , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Bible in a Year:
I have loved you with an everlasting love.
Today’s Scripture :- Jeremiah 31:1–9(NIV)

Insight

Jeremiah offers unusual comfort to survivors of the Babylonian invasion and exile (30:3, 10–11, 24; 31:1). Without offering an immediate promise of rescue, the prophet reminds them of the God who expresses everlasting love and kindness “to us” by promising to help future generations as He did for their ancestors (31:3, 17). However, he offers no expectation of immediate circumstantial relief for those whose hearts remain cold. Instead he uses the remorse of Ephraim, the father of idolatrous northern tribes, to show how the ever-present God longs to show compassion and mercy to those who are resisting Him (vv. 18–22).
Message :- Nora was tiny, but “Bridget”—the belligerent, six-foot-tall woman glowering down at her—didn’t intimidate her. Bridget couldn’t even say why she had stopped at the crisis pregnancy center; she’d already made up her mind to “get rid of this . . . kid.” So Nora gently asked questions, and Bridget rudely deflected them with profanity-laced tirades. Soon Bridget got up to leave, defiantly declaring her intent to end her pregnancy.
Slipping her small frame between Bridget and the door, Nora asked, “Before you go, may I give you a hug, and may I pray for you?” No one had ever hugged her before—not with healthy intentions, anyway. Suddenly, unexpectedly, the tears came.
Nora beautifully reflects the heart of our God who loved His people Israel “with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3). The people had stumbled into the hard consequences of their persistent violation of His guidelines. Yet God told them, “I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. I will build you up again” (vv. 3–4).
Bridget’s history is complex. (Many of us can relate.) Until she ran into real love that day, her belief had been that God and His followers would only condemn her. Nora showed her something different: the God who won’t ignore our sin because He loves us beyond imagination. He welcomes us with open arms. We don’t have to keep running.

Reflect & Pray

What’s your perception of God? How does it line up with the God you read about in today’s Scripture reading?
Father, I so often take Your incredible love for granted. Forgive me, and help me to reflect that love to someone today.
