Verse of the day: Romans 5:8

Reflection

God's love isn't a response to us getting our act together. Christ died for us while we were still sinners, which means that love doesn't depend on how well we're doing.

Prayer

Father, thank you for loving me at my worst. Help me rest in that love today. Amen.

In context · Romans 5:6–10

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
