Love is Present

FIRST15
About this episode

As we continue this week’s focus, seeking to put love into action, today we’re going to look at how simply being present can make all the difference in the life of another. As our world becomes more and more distracted, and takes less time to notice what’s happening in the life of another, may God empower us as his people to simply be present today.

 

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 139:7, and today's worship is Perfect Love by Rivers & Robots

If you haven’t downloaded our brand new First15 app, make sure to click the link in today’s show notes to check it out! One of the new features that you can enjoy when you download the app is our Guided Prayers.

In today’s First15 Podcast we wanted to give you a preview of a new Guided Prayer that our friend RaeAnn Beckham wrote titled, “Safe Place.” RaeAnn does a beautiful job of reminding us about God’s desire to make us new and to do so gently and with unending kindness. Her prayer helps us remember that life with Jesus is a journey, one that he takes with us every step of the way.
