When we love in life, it must be real. When we pray to God and show our love to Him, He knows if the love is sincere. He also knows if we are saying what we think He wants to hear because we feel we have to. The same is true for the people in our lives. We must show true love to those who mean the most to us. We should associate with positive and good people and turn away from those who cause discord in our lives. By clinging to what is good, we give ourselves opportunities to be around others who share our same love and devotion to God, and that makes our lives infinitely better.

Afternoon Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to live my life to your praise and glory. I pray that your abundant love fills me to fullness and flows through me to others. I pray that I may cling to what is good and stay away from all that is evil, and I ask that my love be without hypocrisy—as I abide in Christ and He in me. Amen.

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible study

Research has shown that the average inheritance in the United States is between $68,000 and $183,000. Research has shown that this inheritance is typically depleted in five years. With the money they inherit, people pay off their debts, plan for their future, and splurge on something for themselves.

When Jesus resurrected and returned to Heaven, He left an inheritance for his followers that many have not claimed.

John 14:27 says, "Peace I leave with you" Peace is our inheritance that Jesus left for us. It cannot be taken away from us, but we must accept it in order to enjoy its benefits. Yet even when we experience peace, our problems and difficulties don't disappear.

This authentic peace is entirely different from what the world considers to be peace. We don't have to live upset and worried—we can live in a place of rest. Whenever we feel overwhelmed or stressed out, we can ask God to calm our spirit and help us trust in Him.

Sometimes things happen that are scary and fill us with fear, but we can choose to live in God's peace and rebuke fear from having a place in our lives. He can bless us in the middle of every storm, and we can know that God will never leave us.

Often, we keep ourselves from experiencing God's peace because we haven't taken the time to present our burdens to Him. When we cast our cares upon Him, He will speak to our hearts and remind us in our spirit, "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

Yesterday Afternoon's Prayer

Heavenly Father, please be my strength today. Fill my mind with your peace and comfort even during the stormiest seasons of life. Help me learn to rest in you. I know you can use my obedience to draw others to you. Remove the fear that tries to invade my mind and soul. Push it out and replace it with your perfect peace. Thank you. In Jesus' name, amen.
