From the Heart of Brother Jesse – Friday, May 23, 2025 – A Life Marked by Devotion

Dear Friends,

As we bring this week to a close, I invite you to pause and reflect on what your life is truly centered around. Not just in theory or on paper, but in your everyday thoughts, habits, and decisions—what or whom do you serve? What captures your highest affection and deepest trust?

The first of God's commandments in Exodus 20:3 (NLT) rings with eternal truth: “You must not have any other god but me.” This is not only the beginning of God's law, but the beginning of life itself. For without God at the center, all else eventually falls apart.

A life marked by devotion is not a perfect life—it is a surrendered one. It is a life where the Lord is not only acknowledged, but enthroned. Where prayer is not a duty, but a delight. Where God's will outweighs our own desires. Where the heart is guarded against idols, and the soul is refreshed daily by the presence of the Almighty.

The first pillar of a God-Centered Life reminds us of this: the foundation of everything we are and everything we do must be God Himself. Not God and something else. Just God.

So I urge you, as I urge myself—live a life that testifies to undivided devotion. Let your witness be clear, your focus be firm, and your love for the Lord be unwavering. This is the kind of life that honors the command, the calling, and the covenant of the One true God.

In full surrender to His glory,
Brother Jesse
