Day 1: Love

WEEK ONE

Focus: Love

When a “question” appears, write the question and your answer in the journal! Also write down any verse you see, so you can look back at it later! Remember: You aren’t forced to do this. You could just follow along by reading, but having a Jesus journal is a good way to get deep with God. I recommend it!  Now go experience God in Day One!

 

 

You have a purpose!

In their life, everybody asks the question, “Do I have a purpose?”

Guess What?

You Do.

If you didn’t have a purpose, you wouldn’t be on this earth! God put you here for a reason. A Mighty reason! If you trust Him, He will reveal it to you. Just be patient! God will choose the perfect time to show you who you are. For starters, look at the Fruits of the Spirit. God gave them to us so we could put them to practice in our lives!

 

Love

Joy

Peace

Patience

Goodness

Kindness

Gentleness

Faithfulness

And Self-Control

 

Look at the first word. Love. God loves you so unfathomably, he gave His Son for you! Nothing you can ever do will separate you from Jesus. Do you hear that?

Nothing.

Question: Who do you love?

Who would you never part from? Have a person in mind? God loves you infinity times more than you could ever love that person! God loves them just as much. Everyone has an equal worth to God. He has no favorites. If you say to yourself, “God doesn’t love me.”  It’s time for a wakeup call. God sent His Only Son to die on the cross for your sins! He sent him so you could be able to live in paradise with Him! He gives you a roof over your head, food to eat, family, friends, water, a bed to sleep in, and so many other blessings without you even realizing it. Listen, He loves you.

Question: Do you love Him?

How could we not? The Bible says to us,

“Love The LORD Your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” Luke 10:27

You are His precious daughter. A daughter of the Most High! A daughter of Jesus, our King. So many girls are going through this love problem. Even me! Don’t feel alone. :) Now, as a girl, we can’t stop ourselves from making plans. Plans with friends, plans for shopping trips, plans for just sitting in front of the TV! If you are going through this little problem, you need a game plan. That’s right, it’s time to do something!

THE GAME PLAN

Task: Write down your daily schedule

This is what it may look like

Wake up

Go to school

Come home

Snack

Homework

Electronics

Dinner

Hang out in room

Bed

 

Well, you may be really busy! At the end of the day, we always feel so tired, and are frustrated with the fact that we have to do it all again tomorrow. You can prevent this feeling if you really find time for God. Before you get out of bed in the morning, read a few good verses, pray, and THEN you can begin your day! If you start and end your day with God, you won’t feel as worn out in the end!

 

Activity for the week:

Make time for Jesus!

Pray

Trust Him with your week. Trust Him one day at a time. “Can I do today?” Yes! One day at a time.

Each day of this week, write down everything you did from start to finish

At the end of the week, look back at how your schedule has changed because you made God your priority not a task ;)
