Sunday Scripture - Reflection for February 18, 2024

Scripture Reflection: February 18, 2024 – First Sunday of Lent
Gn 9:8-15
1 Pt 3:18-22
Mk 1:12-15

God’s love story with His creation is long-lasting.
For the love of us: He repeatedly guided us, protected us, and corrected us. He made covenants and expected obedience.
He sent His Beloved and only Son to redeem us, to give us life, and to show us the way. He wants us close, so Jesus Christ teaches us to get to His kingdom of glory and peace.
God tells us through Jesus: “The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the gospel.”
Eternal gratitude to our God and Lord.
Thank you for always taking your beloved creation by hand!
Thank you for keeping the covenants with Noah and Abraham!
Thank you for Your unlimited mercy and love!
Thank you for not hiding Your face from those who love you!
Thank you always, The Holy, I am!
My heart is full of joy and gratitude.
