  1. As we begin today, would you take 30 seconds to first quiet your heart and mind before God?

  2. Maybe tell the Lord you're here to meet with Him, that everything else is on hold while you meet with Him.

  3. Galatians 5.13 calls for us to serve one another humbly in love.

  4. Love often looks ordinary.

  5. It looks like helping without being asked, listening when someone needs to talk, or choosing to serve or show up without expecting anything in return.

  6. These simple moments often become some of the clearest ways we reflect Jesus.

  7. Start off today with praise and gratitude to God.

  8. Thank God for the many ways he faithfully serves and provides for you.

  9. Reflect on his steady care in your daily life.

  10. Maybe list out or tell him all the ways you see and recognize his hand and care.

  11. It may be something small that no one else sees.

  12. Invite Him to help you serve with joy, knowing that every act of love matters to him.

  13. This is true worship to God.

  14. Maybe you know someone personally who has helped you or a family member.

  15. Maybe you yourself are caregiving for a friend or family member who is recovering from something or needs the extra attention.

  16. Maybe you have your children who depend on you all day, every day for everything.

  17. Lift up those who are laying down their lives in this way, especially if that is you.

  18. Cover them, lift them up, see them in a way that translates to them personally.

  19. You are so good, God.

  20. We worship you today with our words and with our lives.

  21. Let us catch and recognize those in our world who need extra attention and love today.

  22. Amen.
