Confession & Repentance Day. Make a list of the things you are doing that get in the way of God’s good work in and through you. Make another list of the things you are NOT doing that could aid in God’s good work in the through you. Bring these to God. Ask forgiveness for, not so much these things, but for the kind of person you have become because of these lists. Now, repent, turn from what’s on these lists into the forgiving, loving embrace of Jesus who will re-new you.

DAY 26
Go to “notforsalecampaign” or “love146″ or “missing kids”. Learn. Pray. This is the world God has sent us to. This is the world God wants us to love. What will you do in response?

Which fruit do you sense you need more of? Fill in the blank with that fruit: “Jesus, make me more ___________.” Let that be your prayer through the day.
