Friday's "devo"

Dear Friends in Christ -
Can you believe it? It's the last day of our youth mission trip!!! Please pray through this "devo" (devotional) with them - and then pray them safe home!
Faithfully,

THEME: More vs. Less

Take some time to think back over the daily themes from these "devos" this week.
Prayerfully think about (or even write down in a journal or on a note for your bathroom mirror) one or two things from each day that you learned or
want to remember.

More Jesus/Less Me - Luke 18:18–30
“Jesus must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:30

More Courage/Less Fear - Matthew 14:22–33
“Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Matthew 14:27

Less Do/More Be - Luke 10:38–42
“Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
Luke 10:42

Less Here/More There - Matthew 6:1–6, 19–21
“Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
Matthew 6:6

Less Ego/More Love - John 13:1–17
“Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also
should wash one another’s feet.” John 13:14

Is there something you want more of? Is there something you need less of?
Maybe choosing to gossip less will give you more opportunities to build others up.
Maybe having more time to talk to Jesus means taking less time on the computer.
Maybe if you choose to be less worried about what you need, you’ll be better at seeing what the people around you need.

What do you need more or less of? Write a few of those things in the spaces below. (You can do this on a separate sheet of paper or even print this off and fill in the blanks!)

What will you do to have more or less of these things?

After setting an example for his disciples by humbly serving them, Jesus told his
disciples this:
“Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.”

It’s not enough just to know what you should do. Jesus says you need to do it!

What will you do here at home, at work, at church, in Bridgeport?

How will you love others more?

How will you serve others more?

How will you have more Jesus in your life?

JESUS MUST BECOME GREATER; I MUST BECOME LESS. - JOHN 3:30
