– Scripture:
God Is Love
7–10 My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God.
11–12 My dear, dear friends, if God loved us like this, we certainly ought to love each other. No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us perfect love!
1 John 4:7–12 MSG
– Reflection:
When you guys read the messages that are placed in your text messages app in your phones or tablet however you receive them, know that it is the love Jesus has for me that allows me to love you guys by sending out this message to you guys. All your hopes and dreams come from the love Christ has for us and without that there would be no dreams of a better tomorrow because the enemy doesn’t want you to see past the nose on your face. He wants you internalizing everything wrong with your life stuck in that place where you can do him no harm. Remember GOD created and loved the enemy, and now the enemy is mad at us because he made us in his image alone not him. Remember the love that is given to you each and every day. I know I will and you will see it tomorrow when you receive this message again.
Where do we go from here?
We have to remember that we need GOD to be successful, there is only one way and that is his. Shining our lights on each other and those that need our help, cements the legacy of GOD and his belief in us. He doesn’t use conditions for his love and neither should we.
Our Prayer for Today
Father we know that loving everyone is not and easy thing, we need your strength to overcome our emotions to do what is right, and helpful to others even when they condemn us personally. The ones in our families are easy to love because they are family and we all want to see family succeed. Even though they may not want us to. Thank you for waking us for another set of tasks that you need us to complete, in your mighty name Jesus we say Amen.
