Good day everyone. The words to one of my favorite gospel songs says exactly how I feel this morning; “I love you Jesus, I worship and adore you, just want to tell you that I love you more than anything!” How’s your love walk today?
Today’s Prayer
Father, I come to you this morning on behalf of my brothers and sisters in Christ. I’m reminded of something that Corrie ten Boom once said, “God does not hold us responsible for success but for faithfulness — Jesus said, ‘Well done you good and faithful servant,’ not ‘well done you good and successful servant.'” Help us , Lord, as we strive to be faithful; sometimes it’s not easy, sometimes it’s not convenient, sometimes it means standing against criticism and ridicule, threats and attacks. It may take more courage than we have, but then You have promised not to leave us alone, and that Your strength will be sufficient. Help us to endure to the end, and to learn to praise You in all things! In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
Let’s eat.
Loving One Another
1 John 4:7-21
Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. We love each other because he loved us first. If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their Christian brothers and sisters.
Quote Of The Day
Spread out your petitions before God, and then say, “Thy will, not mine, be done.” The sweetest lesson I have learned in God’s school is to let the Lord choose for me. ~Dwight L Moody~
