Christian Devotional – December 24, 2014

VERSE:

1 Thessalonians 1:3–We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

TRUTH:

As we look at what we do throughout the day, do these three traits characterize them? Are they produced by faith, prompted by love, and inspired by hope? Each day that we live we are to be showing and sharing about Jesus Christ. We do that through our words and our actions. As we go through our day today, we must as ourselves, is this work we’re doing produced by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ? Are our actions prompted by love for both Jesus and our fellow man? And are we inspired by hope in all that Jesus Christ has promised?

RESPONSE:

Father, Your love changes everything and as I remember You my actions are changed and my motivations are changed. I will follow after You and will examine my deeds to ensure that they are being produced by faith, prompted by love, and inspired by hope.
