Take Home Suggestions:

• Meditate on and read Psalm 139 or Ephesians 3:17-19 often

Romans 2:14-16Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. ¹⁵ They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right. ¹⁶ And this is the message I proclaim—that the day is coming when God, through Christ Jesus, will judge everyone’s secret life.

John 1:16 “From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.”

Matthew 5:45 “In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.”

Psalm 145:9 “The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation.”
