Thy Kingdom Come 
Day 3: 23rd May

Thanks
‘Without prayer, my life would be empty.’


PRAY FOR 5
During TKC we encourage people to pray for 5 people they know to come to faith in Jesus. Each day there will be a Reflection and short videos or audios to help us do this. If you haven’t already, think of five friends who don’t know the love of God for them in Christ.


TODAY’S REFLECTION

READING

God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins… We love because he first loved us.
1 John 4.9-10, 19

REFLECTION
It is so powerful that even when we didn’t know God and didn’t really care about God, He loved us. He doesn’t love us because we do things right or dislike us because we do things wrong. The revolution of His love for us is that it can’t be earned. He just loves us. It is a pure gift. In the same way God loves us before we knew it, He works for all whether they know it or not. God is working in everyone’s life. Some people see it, some people don’t. God’s love acts for all – but what God wants more than anything is for us to recognise it and welcome it. The calling of Christians is to be those who point out how God is already at work in their lives; it is a calling to be channels, not creators of God’s love.

PRAYER
Loving God, thank You that before we loved You, You loved us first. We recognise Your love for us today and choose to love You too. Thank You for my friends. Please open my friends’ eyes to Your love and action for them.

ACTION
It is easy to take people for granted. Are there ways today that you can demonstrate to those you are praying for how grateful you are for them being in your life?
