Day 13 - A Life Centred on God
We look at life using a wheel diagram, with God at the center.
Question: When have you taken something secondary in life, and acted like it was all-important? What happened? Which famous person’s quote resonates most with you?
From the Bible: Read John 3-4 and reflect - if you could start life over like Nicodemus or the woman at the well, what would you do differently?

Grace is the most powerful force in the world, it is what makes Christian faith stand out like a jewel—the world craves it—people are so hungry for grace, often desperate for grace—and grace is there for all people.
Grace is Christian faith’s best gift to the world, a spiritual nova in our midst, exerting a force stronger than vengeance, stronger than racism, stronger than hate.
Imagine grace during the Rwandan genocide, imagine grace in Iraq, imagine grace in a time of marriage breakdown, just imagine grace everywhere…grace says there is nothing I can do to make God love me more, there is nothing I can do to make God love me less…
Imagine grace in your life…a fresh start, forgiveness, a relationship with God, and hope for the future.
What difference would grace make in your own life? How have you been trying to earn salvation, or demanding that others earn it?
Read John 21 and reflect – How do you see Jesus showing grace to Peter and the disciples?
