Holy scripture of the day about You are valued and loved by Jesus - Read more

Then Jesus went over to their synagogue, where he noticed a man with a deformed hand. The Pharisees asked Jesus, “Does the law permit a person to work by healing on the Sabbath?” (They were hoping he would say yes, so they could bring charges against him.) And he answered, “If you had a sheep that fell into a well on the Sabbath, wouldn’t you work to pull it out? Of course you would. And how much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Yes, the law permits a person to do good on the Sabbath.” Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” So the man held out his hand, and it was restored, just like the other one! Then the Pharisees called a meeting to plot how to kill Jesus. Matthew 12:9-14 NLT

Quote: “God values you so much that He was willing to pay the highest price in the universe to redeem you through the death and resurrection of His Son, Christ Jesus.” --Hector Perez

Prayer for today

Lord Jesus, I am deeply grateful for the great value You place on me and every human being. I see how some religious leaders like the Pharisees and skeptics in our society are governed by fallacies and misconceptions about Your true motives. Holy Spirit teach me to value people as Jesus values me by doing good to others regardless of the consequences. Lead me to someone today who feels beaten up or undervalued by God, family members, or friends. Use my care to help express the heart of Jesus and the love of God. Heal them in Jesus’ name.
