Summary
One of the greatest gifts of my life has been to experience the presence of God. His presence is essential to experiencing and knowing him. And God has made himself so available to us through all that Jesus accomplished. May we simplify what it means to experience God’s presence today and gain a greater sense of confidence to experience the presence of God for ourselves at all times.
Our Scripture for today comes from James 1:23-25, and today's worship is For the One by Brian and Jenn Johnson.

We are so excited to share our latest worship song, Coming Through, featuring Jeremiah Brinkley! Check it out on the various streaming platforms here or over at our YouTube channel, here!

There are two things you and I need most: secure connection and unconditional love.
It’s impossible to live with confidence unless we have the sense of self that comes from secure connection with our heavenly Father. And it’s impossible to fully love ourselves and others unless we experience and trust in the unconditional love of the one who gave us life.
We pray our printed devotionals, Closer and Love, help people like you experience the connection and unconditional love available to you in God every morning.
Everything changes when we live from a place of secure connection and unending love. Get your copy at supportfirst15.com!

| 1:41.7 | The poor, orphaned, widowed and lost don't just need a word from God. |
| 1:48.4 | They need us to act in our beliefs and love and serve selflessly with the help of the |
