S - Dear friends if we don't feel guilty we can come to God with bold confidence. And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him. And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another just as he commanded us. Those who obey God's commandments remain in fellowship with him and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.
O - This reminds me a little of the Israelites. God gave them tons of very strict commandments to live by. His reasonings for them was to keep them safe, healthy, and to show them He was God. After the cross we believe in Christ, love one another, and obey God. We've got it so much better than them but yet I still choose to disobey and miss out on blessings.
A - I'm very thankful for the Holy Spirit's presence in my life. I'm continuing to be more attentive to him and listen to "stay away from that or go do this". I want to be so close to God that when the SPirit calls me to do something I don't have to go through a long list of confession to get my heart ready to go serve.
P - Father thank you for the gift of your Spirit. Please help me to love others today the way you love us. Help me to keep close fellowship with you every minute of this day instead of just when I need something.
