*THE BEST WAY TO START AND FINISH YOUR DAY*
_Key Bible Text:_
*Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."*
(Matthew 4:4 NIV))
_Bible Insight:_
During days of uncertainty and unrest, it’s important to start and end your day by refueling your soul—the part of you that determines the way you think, feel, and choose. Just like your physical body has to be fed every day to stay healthy, so does your soul. *If you're not feeding your soul, you’re going to be drained emotionally and spiritually.*
So how do you refuel your soul? By getting into God's Word every day. Jesus said, "Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4 NIV). The Bible is life! You don’t just read it when you have a problem and need some advice. You don’t open it up only when you need a pick-me-up. You feed on it every day so that you are consistently nourished and growing in truth and love.
Don’t begin your day by scrolling through your phone or listening to the news. And don’t end your day by filling your mind with something on TV. None of those things are going to feed your soul.
If you only develop one new habit this year, let it be starting and ending your day in God’s Word. Wherever you leave your Bible, leave it open if you can. If the Bible is closed, you will have a tendency to overlook it. But if you leave it open to where you read last time, you’ll have an easier time remembering to be consistent in Bible reading.
It doesn't matter how long you read. It matters how you let God’s Word change you—how you see yourself and others in light of God’s love, how you view your circumstances, and how your relationship with God deepens and grows.

*YOU HAVE TO LOVE YOURSELF*
_Key Bible Text:_
*How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!*
(Psalms 139:17 (NLT))
_Bible Insight:_
In some of His most famous words, Jesus said, “ ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’ †(Matthew 22:37–39).
This shows us the connection between having a relationship with God and having relationships with people. But let’s look closer at the second greatest commandment. Notice that it says, “Love your neighbor as yourself.†Jesus drew a definite connection between our love for others and our love for ourselves.
*Most of us spend so much time hating things about ourselves that we don’t realize we’re crippling our ability to love others.* There’s no way you can figure out how to love somebody else well in a relationship if you have not first figured out how to love yourself.
Some of us treat ourselves so ugly. We settle for way less than what we know we deserve. We violate our bodies and our hearts and allow others to do the same. We use our own words to put ourselves down constantly.
Well, consider this. If you devalue yourself, then you will inevitably end up treating your neighbor, or even your spouse, the same way.
In order to learn to love yourself the way God intended, you have to build a relationship with God, who is love. Remember, your relationship with Him is your ultimate relationship. But then loving yourself means accepting who God created you to be, as hard as that may be for you. It means taking the time to find your fulfillment in Him and realizing that only He can fill the emptiness you feel inside.
The way God created you was not a mistake. Remember, He made the human race and He “saw that it was very good!†(Genesis 1:31). He calls you His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10). He wants you to see yourself the way He sees you—loved and valuable.

*THE RELATIONSHIP GIVER*
_Key Bible Text:_
*“The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone’â€* (Genesis 2:18)
_Bible Insight:_
God made the sun and the moon and the sky and said, *“It is good.â€* He made water and dry land and said, *“It is good.â€* He made plants and trees, and then, for me, all the ingredients for a delicious soul-food dinner, and said, *“It is good.â€* Then He made the sea creatures like Willy and Nemo and Flounder, and all the wild animals like Timon, Pumbaa, and Simba(Sorry..I love cartoonsðŸ˜), and said, *“It’s good.â€* When He made Adam, He said, *“It’s very good.â€* It was all good.
But pretty soon God said for the first time, *“It’s not good.â€* It’s not that God had messed up—He never messes up. Something was missing. “The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone’ †(Genesis 2:18).
This principle is true for all Adam’s children as well. It’s not good for you to be alone. It’s not good for me to be alone.
When we set up a life that is guarded and gated, the enemy comes to attack us. When we’re isolated, we’re at more risk of listening to lies about who we are and coming to believe them as truth.
We all need relationship with people who can remind us of the truth and dispel the falsehood, who can show us some of the love our hearts need, who can help us along our way. God knows this. And that’s why God wants relationship for us.
Is it hard for you to believe that a major part of God’s plan for your life involves relationship?
He wants you to have a best friend, even though the last one stabbed you in the back. He wants you to have pastors and mentors who create a safe place to grow and become. He wants you to be in a marriage that works and is marked by love, honor, respect, and fun.
Granted, your past relationships might have been, well...the opposite of that. But God is a Redeemer, so He can take whatever is broken and jacked up and work it for your good.
MEDITATION:
*Spend some time thanking God for your existing relationships and asking Him to guide you into new ones that will help you fulfill His purposes in your life*

*DAILY DEW 14TH/MAY/2021*
*BEFORE THE PERSON*
_Key Bible Text:_
*So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.*
(Genesis 1:27 (NIV))
_Bible Insight:_
Before there was ever a person on this earth and in fact before there was even an earth there was already relationship. How’s that? It’s because God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit existed as three persons in one.
Now, I can’t totally explain the Trinity. Nobody can. It’s real, but how it works goes beyond our ability to comprehend. The thing is, the Bible makes it clear that the three persons of the Trinity have dwelled together forever.
*Meaning relationship was, is, and forever will be.* Cool, huh?
Maybe the coolest thing about all this (for us anyway) is that humanity was created out of that everlasting relationship. The Trinity had a conversation and agreed, “Let us make human beings in our own image†(Genesis 1:26). The Trinity didn’t need us. They were already perfect, complete, and fulfilled within Themselves. But out of the overflow of Their love, They decided to create humans, both male and female.
The first human, Adam, lived in the Garden of Eden with God as his companion from his first day. In other words, he had a relationship with God before there was even one other human to know.
The picture we get in Genesis 2—3 is that God and Adam were good friends. They would hang together in the garden, talk about this and that, and take walks to look at the shiny new plants and animals while enjoying the cool evening breeze together. All by themselves, just the two of them.
Here’s what we need to get out of this: No matter what other relationships we have (or don’t have), all of us can have a relationship with God. Through Christ, He invites us into the same kind of connection He has within the Trinity--a loving, giving relationship. So dear friend, make Jesus your first love today!
MEDITATION:
*What is your relationship with God like? How does it affect your human relationships?*
