Good morning! Here is your weekly Friday fill-up devotion for June 12, 2026. The Bible says in I Corinthians 13:13 “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
Slowly read through and answer these questions:
Do I love others with God’s love?
Do others see in me – whatever my circumstances – the joy I have because of my salvation?
Do people see peace in me regardless of what is going on in my life?
Am I patient with people?
Do I treat people with kindness?
Is my lifestyle characterized by goodness and service?
What evidence of my faithfulness to God do people see?
Am I gentle with people?
In what aspects of my life would more self-control be beneficial?
Allow the love of Jesus Christ to rule in your life and shine through you today.
In God’s kingdom, being comes before doing, for what we do is always determined by who we are. And God’s Spirit within us is at work, making us more like Jesus.
In closing, of all the themes of life, of music, of poetry, and of great literature, one stands supreme, and that is LOVE. May we make love the theme of our lives, our theme for eternity. Jesus said in Mark 12: 30-31: “And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Prayer starter for today: God our Father in heaven, Your love has no limits; it knows no boundaries. Fill me afresh with Your love today, so that it overflows out of me to others for their good and for Your glory in Jesus name I pray, Amen!
To God be the glory!

Good morning! Here is your weekly Wednesday devotion for June 10, 2026.
Job said: “For I know my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth” (Job 19:25).
Did you notice that Job did not say, “I think…” or “I hope…” Job is rock-solid certain that he will live again.
And this confident proclamation comes from a man who has lost his wealth, his friends, and most of his family, and his health. Yet his answer to his original question – “If a man dies, shall he live again?” (Job 14:14) – is an unwavering “Absolutely Yes!”
There is life after death. God wants us to know this truth; He wants us to live with certainty that life continues after our earthly existence. The apostle John put it like this:
“These things I have written to you in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.” (I John 5:13).
The Bible you often hold in your hands was written to you in order that you would have absolute assurance not only that there is life after your time on earth, but that you will spend it with Jesus in the very place that He has prepared for you! (John 14:1-3)
God does not want you to hope…but to know that you have eternal life. The reality is you are not really ready to live until you are ready to die and have that assurance where you will spend eternity.
Prayer starter for today: God our Father in heaven, I thank YOU that I can know I have eternal life because Your Word says so! Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow. Thank You Lord for saving my soul. Thank You, Lord, for making me whole. Thank You Lord for giving to me, Thy great salvation, so rich and free. Thank You Lord in Jesus name I pray, Amen!
To God be the glory!

Good morning! Here is your weekly Friday fill-up devotion for June 5, 2026. The Bible says in Proverbs 17:22 “A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” Jesus said in John 16:33 “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
ON some days it is hard to be cheerful. Sometimes, as the demands of the world increase and our energy sags, we feel less like “cheering up” and more like “tearing up.” But even in our darkest hours, we can turn to God, and He will give us comfort.
Few things in life are sadder than a grumpy Christian. Christ promises us lives of abundance and joy, but He does not force His joy upon us. We must claim His joy for ourselves, and when we do, Jesus fills our spirits with His power and His love.
How can we receive from Christ the joy that is rightfully ours? By giving Him what is rightfully His: our hearts and our souls. Then we can share His joy and His message with a world that needs both.
Prayer starter for today: God our Father in heaven, help me choose an attitude of cheerfulness. Let me be a joyful Christian, quick to smile and slow to anger. And let me share Your goodness with all whom I meet so that Your love might shine in me and through me in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
To God be the glory!

Good morning! Here is your weekly Wednesday devotion for June 3, 2026. Jesus said in Luke 9:23 “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”
The Lord Jesus walks with you. Are you walking with Him? I hope that you will choose to walk with Jesus today and every day of your life.
The Lord Jesus loved you so much that He endured unspeakable humiliation and suffering for you. He paid the full price of your sin and my sin that He did not owe but yet we could never pay. How will you respond to Christ’s sacrifice for you? Will you take up your cross and follow Him or will you choose another path?
When you place your hopes squarely at the foot of the cross, and place Jesus Christ squarely at the center of your life, you will be blessed. If you seek to be a worthy disciple of Jesus, you must acknowledge that He is always first. So pick up your cross today and every day that you live. You will discover that Christ’s love has the power to change everything, including you.
James 1:17 says “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”
Prayer starter for today: Dear Lord Jesus my personal Savior. I love You, I trust You and my heart’s desire is to obey You. Grant me wisdom and boldness to share Your Good News. You have given me life abundant and life eternal, and I will follow You today and forever in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
To God be the glory!

05/29/2026

Good morning! Here is your weekly Friday fill-up devotion for May 29, 2026.
The Bible says “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
The Bible promises this: Tough times are temporary, but God’s love is not. God’s love lasts forever. So, what does that mean to you? Just this: from time to time, everybody faces tough times, and so will you. And when tough times arrive, God will always stand ready to protect you and heal you.
Psalm 147:3 promises “He Heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
But the Scripture does not say He heals them instantly. Usually, it takes time for God to fix things according to His timing, His higher ways and greater purpose. So, if you are facing tough times, face them with God by your side. If you find yourself in any kind of trouble, pray about it and ask God for help. And be patient. God will work things out for good, just as He has promised, but He will do it in His own way and in His own time
In closing, there are no problems bigger than God.
Prayer starter for today: God our Father in heaven, You are my strength and my protector.
When I am troubled, You comfort me. When I am discouraged, You lift me up. Your love is infinite, as is Your wisdom. Whatever my circumstances, dear Lord, let me always give the praise, and the thanks, and the glory to You in Jesus name, Amen.
To God be the glory!

Good morning! Here is your weekly Wednesday devotion for May 27, 2026.
The Bible says: “Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing” (I Thessalonians 5:11).
Imagine a first-century boy working at his trade. A Roman soldier comes by, calls to him, and demands that he carry his backpack for the required mile. Yes, this command interrupts the lad’s workday, but he has no choice.
This boy, however, is a second miler. At the one-mile marker, instead of putting down the pack, spitting on the ground, and heading home, he volunteers to go an extra mile. Along the way, he asks the soldier about life in Rome. The soldier is baffled.
Individuals who travel that miracle mile lighten the load – figuratively as well as literally – of the people around them. One simply cannot travel the second mile without influencing others. It takes only the second miler in a family, on a team, or in an office to lighten the mood and improve the environment.
The second mile is a miracle mile because it is motivated by and manifests the love of Jesus Christ.
In closing, It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that will determine your altitude in life.
Your attitude today is influencing all those around you for good or for bad.
Prayer starter for today: God our Father in heaven, I can never get to the blessings of the second mile unless I walk the first mile with joy. Let Your joy so fill me that it flows from me to others today in Jesus name, Amen!
To God be the glory!
