February 4: God is Real

You have not seen christ, but still you love him. You cannot see him now, but you believe in him. You are filled with a joy that cannot be explained. And that joy is full of glory. - 1 Peter 1:8 ICB

How do you know that the wind is real? You can't see it, but you can hear it, feel it, and see what it does to clouds and trees. God is kind of like the wind-we don't see him, but we feel and see what his love does to our lives and other people's lives.

It's pretty amazing to love someone that you can't see, but the Bible says that when you love God, you will be filled with a lot of joy. So smile, because you love God, and he loves you!

A Prayer: God, I know that you are real. Sometimes I can't explain it, but I love you, because I know that you love me. Thank you for your joy that makes me smile.
