Day 1: The Love That Found You First
Reading: Romans 5:6-8
Devotional: Before you were cleaned up, before you had the right answers, before you could offer God anything of value, he acted. The passage in Romans makes clear that Christ died for us while we were still sinners -- not after we improved, not after we earned it. This is the foundation of everything. God did not wait for your best day. He chose you on your worst. Religion tells you to get yourself together before approaching God. Real love says God already came to you in your mess. Sit with that today. Let it move past your head and settle into your heart.
