Day 2 devotional God’s love made visible in you

Day 2: God’s Love Made Visible in You

Scripture: “In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.” — 1 John 4:9

Reflection:

God’s love is not distant or abstract—it became real and visible in Jesus. As a mother, you make love visible in your home. Your everyday acts of sacrifice and care echo the heart of God, even when no one else sees them.

Prayer:

Jesus, thank You for showing us the depth of God’s love. Help me to reflect that same kind of love in how I serve and care for my family.

Action:

Write down one way your love has impacted your child(ren). Reflect on how your love is part of God’s bigger story of love in their lives.

Devotional on love based on 1 John, day 1

Day 1: Love Begins with God

Scripture: “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.” — 1 John 4:7

Reflection:

As a mother, you give love in many forms—comfort, discipline, encouragement, and presence. But your ability to love doesn’t come from your own strength—it begins with God. He is the source of all true love. When you’re exhausted or stretched thin, return to the well of His love.

Prayer:

Lord, remind me that all love flows from You. Fill me with Your love so I can give it freely to my children and others around me.

Action:

Take five quiet minutes today to simply receive God’s love—read this verse slowly, breathe deeply, and rest in His presence.

Proverbs 11:2 Devotional

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.” — Proverbs 11:2 (ESV)

Devotional Thought:

Pride blinds us. It convinces us we don’t need help, that we know best, and that we’re above correction. But Scripture warns that pride doesn’t just lead to a fall—it brings disgrace. We’ve all seen how pride can destroy relationships, ruin reputations, and close our hearts to God’s guidance. In contrast, humility opens the door to wisdom. The humble are teachable, receptive to correction, and aware of their need for God. Wisdom doesn’t shout from a platform of self-sufficiency—it grows quietly in the soil of humility.

Jesus Himself modeled perfect humility. Though He had all authority, He chose to serve, listen, and obey the Father’s will. If we want to walk in wisdom, we must first kneel in humility.

Reflection Questions:

1. Where has pride crept into your heart or decisions recently?
2. How can you practice humility today in a relationship, conversation, or decision?

Prayer:

Lord, strip away any pride in me that leads to disgrace. Teach me to walk humbly before You and others, so that I may grow in wisdom and bring You glory. Amen.

A Prayer for Mother’s Day 11 MAY 25

Gracious and Loving Father,

On this Mother’s Day, we thank You for the gift of mothers—those who have nurtured us, cared for us, and reflected Your love in countless ways. As 1 John reminds us, “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God.” Today, we honor those who have lived out that love with patience, sacrifice, and grace.

Lord, we praise You because You are love. In You, we have seen perfect love made manifest through Jesus Christ. Thank You for the ways mothers mirror this selfless, abiding love—through sleepless nights, tender words, strong prayers, and faithful presence.

We pray for every mother today—those filled with joy and those carrying pain, those who have lost children and those longing to be mothers, those raising children now, and those who have raised generations. May Your perfect love cast out all fear, bring comfort, and fill them with peace.

Help us all to walk in love, not just in word but in deed. May we learn from the love we’ve received and share it freely, just as You have loved us. Let this day be a celebration of Your love working through the hearts of mothers and all who mother others.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

3 APR 25 Thursday SOAPS Devotional

(Scripture, Observation, Apply, Pray, Share)

Reading Plan: Psalm 69:1-23; Jer. 22:13-23; Rom. 8:12-27; Jn. 6:41-51

S- “I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.” Romans 8:18

O-  Paul begins this paragraph on the future glory that helps us to stay focused on what truly matters. Much of our suffering comes from our sinful lives, succumbing to temptation, bodily pains, diseases, stress, and failure, and is much less than what lies before us in the future. Knowing this can give us hope and resilience to endure, but also a chance to glorify God in it.

A- I will remember to look to the future in hope when the struggles of life increase. I will endure with God’s help and glorify him in good and bad times.

P- Heavenly Father, thank you for the hope we have in you. When we go through trials and suffer, it reminds us that the glory you have prepared outweighs our present pain. Strengthen us to endure, trusting in your promises and the joy that is to come. In Christ’s name, amen.

S- Jeremy,
