Just to make the idea of meditation and reflection a little more relevant, we’ve set up the exercise as a daily text stream. The first text is from Jesus himself… a message from the Word. You have the opportunity to acknowledge your first reaction, think ! ?  or your favorite emoji kind of brief response.  Next you'll see a response and a question from our writing team. Lastly, you get to go into a conversational prayer with Jesus. That may be an honest plea for help, a praise for newly discovered grace or purpose, a statement of commitment, or a plea for someone you know or for the Trinity Family… or all of the above. 

Day 1

Jesus tells you...But the Holy Spirit will come upon you and give you power. Then you will tell everyone about me in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria, and everywhere in the world. Acts 1:8 CEV

My reaction - 

The disciples are losing their leader a second time, this time to heaven for an unknown time. He’s repeating the Great Commission to his disciples but it gets further away. Jerusalem to Judea to Samaria to all. Like a rain drop ripple in a pond.

What rippling journey has God taken me on as his representative?

My prayer reply to Jesus -
