"No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us." ~1 John 4:12 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. Spiritual power is God in action. God can act through human beings. When ever we, however weak we may be, allow God to act through us, then all we thank and say and do is spiritually powerful. It is not us alone who produce a change in the lives of others. It is also God's spirit in us and working through us. Power is God in action. God can use us as a tool to accomplish miracles in people's lives. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may try to let God's power work through me today. I pray that I may get rid of those blocks which keep God's power from me. .=: S C R I P T U R E S A N D S A I N T O F T H E D A Y := Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/ Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ .=: W E P R A Y :=.
