Psalms 136:1-26. What are five big things God has done my life that illustrate this Psalm’s refrain, “His mercy endures forever”?
Song of Solomon 6:1-13. Verse 3, can it be said that equally as I belong to Jesus, he belongs to me? If yes, what are the implications for the way I deal with everything that comes up today?

John 1:1-18. In what unspoken ways should others be able to recognize me as someone in close relationship with the Light of life and the Word made flesh?
