The River of Peace

As you come to the end of your day, be reminded of the undeniable evidence of God’s love for you. Tonight’s Our Daily Bread Evening Meditation invites you to rest in a love that has already been proven beyond doubt. Reflecting on Romans 5:8–11, we see that God demonstrated His love through Christ’s sacrifice—loving us even when we were far from Him. His love is not based on your worthiness, but on His unchanging nature. As you settle into rest, allow this truth to sink deep into your heart: you are loved, fully and completely, by the God who gave everything for you.

As the day comes to a close, reflect on what it means to truly follow Jesus.

As you settle into the quiet of the night, bring your attachments honestly before God. In letting go, you may discover a deeper peace than you’ve ever known.
