Scripture: “I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” — Jeremiah 31:33 (NRSV)
Reflection:
God’s promise in Jeremiah isn’t about new rules — it’s about a new relationship. The covenant once carved on stone is now inscribed on the heart. God’s grace isn’t something we carry around; it’s something that carries us. When God writes on the heart, faith becomes more than obligation; it becomes belonging. The ink of this covenant is love, steady and enduring, rewriting fear with trust and striving with peace.
Application:
Take a moment today to be still. Rest your hand over your heart and offer a brief prayer of gratitude: “God, write your love within me.”
Writing Prompt:
What do you feel God is rewriting in you these days—what patterns, fears, or hopes are being transformed?
Prayer:
God of promise and presence,
thank you for making your home within us.
Write your mercy deep into our being
until our hearts reflect your heart.
Shape us in love that endures.
Amen.
