Good morning, Lord
Father in Heaven, open my heart and mind, Holy Spirit. Fill my consciousness and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…
Memory verse: 1 John 1:8–9
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
Verse of the day: "I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Today’s reading: Isaiah 43-44 1 Thessalonians 2

In the fifth chapter of the Old Testament book of Daniel, the king Belshazzar saw fingers write words on a wall and was frightened and finally Daniel was called in to interpret the writing. Daniel said, "This word TEKEL means you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting."
These scales are of quality not quantity. The king's 'wanting' was the righteousness of God.
Sadly, most of the talk about quality of life in today's world is when someone is in danger of losing their quality of life. What can be done for us to focus on quality before that point? In truth, our worldly view of quality has mostly to do with quantity. How much stuff of great quality can we surround ourselves with to give us the greatest feeling? The answer is always 'more'.
True quality of life is found here: Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through me", John 14:6. The way is not measured in miles. The truth cannot be measured in correct answers-but only in righteousness. Life is only in Christ and is eternal.
We are to love God with all we are, Matthew 22:37. We are to be joyful all the time, pray all the time, and give thanks all the time, 1 Thessalonians 5:16, 17, 18.
God, our loving Father, wants the best for us in all things and He has defined quality of life for us. He is the definition of quality of life. Quality of life is not how long we live-it is how deeply we love God.
Ephesians 3:18, NLT: "And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is."
This is the only quality of life-knowing how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is."
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22
God in Christ Jesus as the Holy Spirit indwells us-the only real quality of life.
Ask God to show you the quality of life He has for You.
...because He loves us...
Father in heaven,
Fill my heart with awe and praise for You, oh God. I worry about life here so much. Forgive me and lead into a greater knowledge of You and Your love.
Father of life and love.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen
