Scripture Reading
John 15:16
"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you."
Reflection
The initiative in our relationship with God is always his. We did not stumble onto the path of faith by accident; we were chosen and sent with a purpose. That purpose — bearing fruit that lasts — is not a burden but a gift, because it means our lives are connected to something eternal. And the one who chose us also hears us when we ask.
Prayer for Today
Dear God,
I am ready for Your help
In removing from me the defects of character

Help me to continue being honest with myself &
Guide me toward spiritual & mental health.
