Lost treasures at home

Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.

Luke 15:8-9

The parable of the lost coin appears in a series of sermons by Jesus about the Kingdom of God. In these illustrations, the Master shows practically how the lost are precious when found in His kingdom. The coin has no value when lost, but in the right hands, it can be very profitable to its owner. Likewise, when we are lost without our Savior, we have no value in the world. But when found by Him, there is celebration in heaven in celebration of the sublime rescue, for the high price paid on the cross.

The lost coin at home also makes us think about the important things we lose in our homes: dialogue, respect, understanding, peace, faithfulness, forgiveness, or, in short, love. These are very important values that we leave forgotten in some "drawer of resentment" or dusty behind some heavy piece of suffering. Seek to find these important principles for you and your family, and do not lose sight of them.

God has made you precious by being found by Jesus Christ. Make your home, your work, and the people around you precious through the care and love expressed by them.

You are a valuable jewelry box!

  • Open your heart to Jesus Christ if you are still lost and without eternal hope.
  • Pray and thank Him for having been found by the King. He has made you a precious and useful treasure for the Kingdom of God.
  • Find your true value with Christ in the Bible. Read and study it daily!
  • Reflect on your home and do a "general cleaning." Sweep away the dust of past grievances, forgive by removing the trash, and reorganize your home with love and dedication.
  • Take the first step and recognize the real value of family. Find the "hidden treasures" in each person.
  • Love people and use things, not the other way around.

Let's Pray:

Lord Jesus, thank you for coming to meet us. I praise you for considering humanity precious enough to shed your own blood in our place. Help me to always celebrate this encounter with joy and gratitude. Teach me to also recover the lost riches in my home. Restore my family, in Jesus' name. Amen!

Yesterday's Devotional

Nothing will separate us from His love!

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
- Romans 8:35

The answer: Nothing will separate us from the love of God! We may one day forget Him, but God will never forget us. His love has no end and reaches both the grateful and the ungrateful through His mercy.

When we become aware of this love, everything in life takes on meaning even trials, persecutions, and struggles are seen in a new light. We were created to glorify Him through our lives.

All things that happen to us whether good or bad follow this same purpose: that He may be glorified! In the end, “all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).

When God gave His Son Jesus, He proved His love for us. Don’t forget you are loved by God. He loves you, and nothing will separate you from His love!

Experiencing the Love of God

  • Seek to know more about this love through the Word of God. Everything written in the Bible points to God’s love.
  • Connect with this love! Our God is alive and wants to relate to us. Seek Him in prayer, pursue intimacy with God through the Holy Spirit.
  • Spread this love! God’s love is meant to be shared, talk about this love and love your neighbor. When we speak of God’s love to others, He pours His love into us even more!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You so much for Your love. I know I am not alone, and I also know that Your love keeps me alive. I want to experience even more of this love that saved me. Amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Live joyfully!

Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person,
do not associate with one easily angered,
or you may learn their ways
and get yourself ensnared.
- Proverbs 22:24–25

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
- Philippians 4:4

God’s people are (or should be) the happiest people on earth! Not because life with Jesus is a bed of roses or because everything always goes well for us, but because Jesus Christ is our joy, our source of hope and peace, and the very reason for our existence. We are also confident that He cares for us and loves us unconditionally. Because of all this, we have more than enough reason to rejoice.

Don’t let yourself be negatively influenced. Your joy should not be dependent on life’s problems or challenges. The joy of the Lord is your strength! Everything Jesus has already done is more than enough to motivate your joy and good mood each day. Christ gave Himself in love, making it possible for us to live a new life filled with hope and overflowing with joy!

Rejoice in God!

  • Every morning, remember what Jesus has done in your life. He loves you with an everlasting love!
  • Be thankful for the salvation, forgiveness, transformation, and freedom God has already brought into your life.
  • Read the Bible and fill your heart with lasting satisfaction through the Word of God.
  • Praise, sing, and worship the Lord! Celebrate the abundant grace provided by Christ.
  • Let the true joy of the Holy Spirit influence those around you.

To Pray:

Lord God, You are the reason for my joy! Even when sad days come, my heart will rejoice in the wonderful salvation Christ won on the cross. Help me not to become bitter or discontent like those who don’t know You. Instead, help me to be a light that radiates peace, love, and true joy. Your joy strengthens me today and always! In Jesus’ name, amen.

What is the Daily Devotional

The Daily Devotional is a special moment of your day that you dedicate to having a precious time of intimacy with God. It is very simple to establish an exciting routine of discovery and spiritual growth. You will achieve this by setting aside a moment each day to draw near to the Lord. During the Devotional, you will read a Bible verse with a meditation on the text. Then, you will meditate on the teachings and how to apply them in your life. In the end, you can pray.

How to do your Daily Devotional

Here are some tips for making the most of reading the Bible message during the Daily Devotional:

  1. Set aside a moment and choose a specific place: your devotional time will be more beneficial if you set aside the hustle and bustle and invest in a pleasant time alone with God.
  2. Read the verse or Bible passage attentively: develop a lifestyle committed to the Word of God every day and avoid distractions.
  3. Read the daily meditation: reflect and try to understand God's purpose for your life through the comments.
  4. Practical application: jot down your findings and don't forget to put into practice everything you have learned through the Bible.
  5. Share what you learned: try to share with people around what God has been teaching you in your moments of daily devotion as you go about your daily conversations and interactions.
