Devotions from God Pause: Jesus’ followers are to love one another, welcome strangers, visit prisoners, be faithful in marriage, be content with their financial resources, and finally remember and imitate their past leaders. While this list challenges and inspires us, it is God’s attendant promise that gives us strength. Each time we fall short, we remember that God has told us: “I will never leave you or forsake you.” We are able to share mutual affection with one another because we know that God is continually sharing that love with us. Yesterday, today, and forever will be just enough time to begin to appreciate the vastness of God’s love for all humanity. Yesterday, today, and forever we are invited to praise the God whose name we confess, and honor God through lives well-lived. “Join us for Meeting on Monday!  The coffee pot will be on.
