I HAVE CHOSEN YOU

Always remember that before you ever chose Me,
I’d already chosen you to go out into the world and
bear fruit for Me that will last forever—making disciples
and spreading My Word. If you do this, then
you’ll be able to ask Me for anything you need in
My Son’s name, and I will give it to you.
FROM JOHN 15:16

WARRANTY NOTES: If you do God's work, He
promises to give you everything you
need to do it.

Dear God,
Thank You for giving me such
an important assignment!
I am anxious to do Your work in the world,
and I trust You to give me everything I
need to accomplish every challenge I face.
Amen.

I LOVED YOU FIRST

If ever you doubt My love, remember what I did
to prove it to you. I sent My only Son into the
world for you. Think about it: I loved you first—
even while you were sinful and didn’t love Me.
Without your doing anything for Me, I sent My
sinless Son to sacrifice His life for your sins. That’s
why you can always be certain that My love for
you doesn’t rest on your performance and can’t be
earned or increased.
FROM 1 JOHN 4:9–1 0

WARRANTY NOTES: It's impossible for God
to love you more than He already does.

Dear God,
How awesome that You love me so completely.
You loved me even before I decided to get to know You.
Keep me safe in Your love today and every day.
Amen.

I WILL REJOICE OVER YOU

I, the Lord your God, am with you. I am mighty
and able to save you. I want you to be convinced
that I take great delight in you. Allow Me, and I
will quiet you with My love. I “will rejoice over
you with singing.”
FROM ZEPHANIAH 3:17

WARRANTY NOTES: The songs of God's love
are everywhere around us, all the time.

Dear God,
How amazing it is to know that
You love me so much.
I love to think ofYou rejoicing over me in song.
Teach me to please You more and more.
Amen.

YOU ARE MY BELOVED FRIEND
It isn’t easy to find a friend—but you can count on
Me. I sent My Son for you, and He’ll do the things
a best friend does. He’ll rejoice with you when
good things happen; He’ll listen when you need to
vent; and He’ll stick close by when you need help.
Follow my commands and call out Jesus’ name and
He’ll be right there.
FROM JOHN 15:12–14

WARRANTY NOTES: Friendship with God
never wears out.

Dear God, thank You for giving me a friend like Jesus.
When my earthly friends are not around, Jesus lets me
laugh or weep, ramble or rant. Please help me remember
that Your Son is near, ready to be my loving friend.
Amen.

I KNOW YOU INTIMATELY

I know everything about you. From far away I
know what you’re thinking. I’m up-to-date on the
details of your life. I’m right beside you—wherever
you go. My powerful hands tend to the intricate
details of your life. I was there when you were
put together. I prepared each day of your life
before you were born. I think about you all the
time. And I’m ready to lead you to eternal life.
FROM PSALM 139

WARRANTY NOTES: The One who knows you
best loves you most.

Dear God, You think about me all the time.
You’re always ready and eager to guide me. I can’t
comprehend this. When it comes to meeting You, I can’t
get it wrong or find myself waiting in the wrong place
or at the wrong time. No matter the place or the time,
You will be there. Show me how to follow You perfectly.
Amen.
