Today’s reading is Romans 11:1-21
“But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭11:17-18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.” Are we entitled to God’s love? Did we earn it somehow? It is ALL a gift. How grateful are we for the gift of His love? How grateful are we for Jesus transforming us through faith? Please pray that we and our friends are thankful today for our relationship with Christ. Please pray for Sonny Hires daughter, Bridgette, as the doctors are still searching for the cause of her pain.
