My precious child of God, I greet you in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Today’s promise verse is from I John 4:9, "God sent His one and only Son [Jesus Christ] into the world that we might live through Him. In this, the love of God was manifested toward us.” Because of His great love, God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, into this world. Because of that love, Jesus shed His blood on the cross through His crucifixion.

There was a man called Saul. He was a vessel of wrath, doing all sorts of wrong things against the Lord Jesus Christ. But because of the mercy of God, Jesus went straight to him. And because of that love, Saul became Paul. Paul was called Saint Paul. He became such a saintly person. His whole life was completely transformed. Hallelujah! That’s why we read in Galatians 2:20, where Paul says, "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me." In the beginning, when he had no connection with Christ, he was truly a vessel of wrath. But my friend, when Jesus entered into his heart, He changed him completely. He became a vessel of mercy.

Yes, your life can be completely transformed because of the love of Jesus Christ. According to II Corinthians 5:17, we become a new person: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" All our old habits, unwanted and unspiritual habits, will go away from our lives. We should be crucified with Christ. When you surrender yourself to be crucified along with Jesus Christ, you can become a brand-new person. You will be filled with the love of God. And when you are filled with His love, you’ll be able to show the love of God to others and bring them to the Lord Jesus Christ. My friend, these blessings are coming into your life.

PRAYER:
Loving Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your one and only Son, Jesus Christ, so that I can live through Him. Thank You for showing me such great love through His sacrifice on the cross. Just as You transformed Saul into Paul, I believe You can transform my life too. Take away every old, unwanted, and unspiritual habit in me. Make me a brand-new creation, filled with the love of Christ. Let me no longer live for myself, but let Christ live in me and shine through me. Help me to reflect Your love and lead others to know You. Thank You for the blessings You are bringing into my life through Your mercy and grace. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
