Okay in my Youth group get these bulletins and sometimes they have interesting things to try.
Today I got a paper that said Seven Days of Loving Jesus.... It told you what to do for seven days. I thought I would wanna try it and maybe you guys would want to also.
Day 1 Read the following passages that summarize the gospel of Jesus, then pick one to memorize and meditate on throughout the day: Romans 3:23 - 26; Romans 5:6-11; 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Day 2 Read the book of 1 John, then make a list of characteristics of someone who knows and loves Jesus. Consider whether these practices are the pattern of your life.
Day 3 Call another Christian who is about following Jesus, and ask them how they keep Him central in their daily life. Ask for their prayers and counsel as you seek to love Christ more (Hebrews 13:7)
Day 4 Approach your work today as more than a way to make a living, but rather as an opportunity to serve Jesus (Colossians 3:23) "adorn" the gospel (Titus 2:10), and bless others (Ephesians 4:28 )
Day 5 Meditate on Jesus' words "Whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40) Think of one way you could give a specific person in need (and thus give Christ), and make arrangements to do it within the next week.
Day 6 Think of a Christian friend who could use encouragement. Call them or drop by for a visit, then follow up with a handwritten note. (John 13:34 - 35)
Day 7 Begin your morning by praying for the opportunity to share about Jesus with a non-Christian----Then don't be surprised when God gives you one! (1 Peter 2:9)
After this think about repeating the process the next week and the next week and the week after that.
