📘 August 1 - Week 2 - Day 3: Breaking Down Walls

 

Week 2 of 6 — Journeying Through Ephesians

📖 Ephesians Chapter 2 | July 30–August 1

📖 DAY 3 – Friday, August 1

HAPPY AUGUST FIRST!

Hello again, Wisdom Seekers!

Today, on our final reflection day this week, we consider what happens when we allow love to tear down walls. Whether those walls were built by fear, pride, hurt, or misunderstanding—God is in the business of reconciliation. And He desires to begin that work in you.

---

🔍 Focus Verse:
Ephesians 2:13–14
“Now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near… For He Himself is our peace.”

---

💬 Question 3:

Before – Did you avoid certain relationships or conversations because of discomfort, assumptions, or past hurts?
Were there “walls” in your heart toward certain people or types?

Now – What wall is God breaking down in you through Ephesians 2?
How is love replacing judgment or fear?

---

✨ Guided Prompts to Help You Answer:

Before:

• Who did I “write off” or keep at arm’s length?

• Did fear, past wounds, or assumptions shape my distance?

• Did I use silence, withdrawal, or criticism as walls?

Now:

• What person or group is God prompting me to engage with again?

• How is the message of reconciliation challenging me?

• What step of love can I take toward someone today?

🧠 Quote of the Day:
“The cross of Christ doesn’t just forgive us—it dismantles the walls we’ve built.”

---

🙏🏽 Temperament-Based Prayer:

Choleric:
Jesus, help me lower my guard and allow space for restoration. Break the wall of pride that keeps me from vulnerable love.

Sanguine:
Lord, help me move beyond charm to real connection. Let me use my voice to reconcile, not just entertain.

Melancholic:
Father, soothe the places I’ve been wounded. Don’t let pain become isolation. Heal what I’ve withdrawn from.

Phlegmatic:
God, stir my heart to action. Let me not avoid conflict that You’ve called me to confront with love.

---

🌸 Closing Encouragement:
Walls are not the legacy of the redeemed—unity is. Let’s be wall-breakers, peace-makers, and bridge-builders.

We were loved… to love. 💖

🌟 A Fabulous Friday to you!
