No matter how you receive it—email, snail mail, hand-delivered, or face-to-face—there’s nothing like getting an invitation! It means somebody who knows you wants to hang out with you, spend time with you, and get to know you better.

God has an invitation for you as well. It means pretty much the same thing: God wants to spend time with you and wants your relationship to grow.

This invitation comes from within. Take a little time now to accept it.

Listen

Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Matthew 6:10

Think

Wow! Today is the supreme invitation from God! God invites us to receive God’s kingdom on earth! So many of us are waiting on heaven and all the “wow!” of heaven. But, Jesus prays that we can experience heaven right here, right now. What could be more awesome than that?

Can you imagine heaven on earth? Think of your most favorite thing on earth and multiply it times infinity! That’s what Jesus offers us in this prayer. Are you willing to accept it, or are you maybe a bit scared of it? Me, too!

Pray

God, your invitations are so awesome. Thank you for including me in such awesome promises. I’m a little scared of all this, and I’m a lot excited by it, too. Help me to trust you and live bravely into your kingdom! I accept! Amen!

Go

Oh, you have most definitely been invited!
Invited to join God in the good things God is doing.
Invited to walk alongside other believers in the Way.
Invited to live life to its fullest
As you follow Jesus—who invites everyone!
