This week: Listen to and Read Days 10-15 using the YouVersion Bible App Reading Plan (linked above)

Memorize:
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Day 10
Focus: A Call to Reflect
Read: John 3:16
Reflection: Reflecting during Lent is also a time to use the Bible as a mirror to see your image in God’s image. The John 3:16 image of God’s love is meant to be empowering because we were made in God’s image, which means we were made to love and give. Think of some ways you can be more giving to show your love.

Day 11
Focus: A Call to Reflect
Read: Romans 5:8
Reflection: What would motivate the all-powerful creator to stoop to this planet and actually die a painful, humiliated death for awful, terrible, rebellious sinners? What do you want to say to Jesus?

Day 12
Focus: A Call to Reflect
Read: Philippians 2:6-8
Reflection: For a moment think about humility and your life. Are there areas where you need to empty yourself of your pride?

Day 13
Focus: A Call to Reflect
Read: Ephesians 5:2
Reflection: The Apostle Paul writes about Jesus giving himself as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Jesus’ fragrance, his aroma, conveyed love, grace, mercy, kindness, goodness and holiness.What is your aroma? Do you want to release the same aroma that Jesus did? What does love look like in your life when someone hurts you and betrays you?

Day 14
Focus: A Call to Reflect
Read: John 15:13
Reflection: Ask Jesus if there are any lies that you are believing about his perfect love for you. If you heard yes, ask him to show you what they are. Repent for believing the lies and then ask Jesus what the truth is.

Day 15
Focus: A Call to Meditate
Read: Isaiah 26:3
