Love is seeing others as valuable and precious. How often do we hear those words, you are valuable and precious to me? I hope you know that God values you and thinks you are wonderful! I want to be one person who lets you know today that God does have a wonderful plan for your life, and it is all because He loves you. God is a lover. He loves because it is who He is. It is His nature to love. The new commandment that God gave for us to follow is that we love Him with all of our heart, and that we love our neighbors too – Matt 22:38-39. The Bible states that all of the 10 commandments are wrapped up in those two. I’ve said it before like this, the New Two trump the Big Ten! It is important that we know we are loved, because then we can love others. As believers, our life should revolve around Christ. A Christian is a Christ like one, and Christ should be the center of our existence, our most important Counselor, and the One we depend on in all circumstances. I hope during this month when we are talking about love basics, that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that God loves you! His love really is immeasurable, because there is no end. He has placed His love in you, so that you can not only know his love, but you can love Him back, and show your love to others everyday, in every way!
Here’s a prayer for today: Father, thank you for the love you have for your children, and the love you have for your church. I know I am loved by you and I thank you for the church body you have placed me in. Help me to find my place, and serve wholeheartedly, with joy. Thank you for the promise that where I am planted is where I will grow and flourish. In Jesus Name, AMEN.
