Revelation 3:14-22. Verse 20, what are some ways I might become aware today of Jesus knocking for admission into the moment, or into my difficulties, or into my heart?
Luke 21:1-4. When have I witnessed the extravagant generosity of someone possessing very little? What lesson does God want me to take from this and act on?
