“We love because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19
“Little children, let us love, not in word or speech but in truth and action.” 1 John 3:18
May you be blessed today with the knowledge that you are deeply loved. You are loved by God, who is the very definition of love. And in Him and through Him, you are loved by His children. And in Him and through Him, you are free to love as He loves.
One of the most wonderful things we can do as we enter this new year is to walk in Christ’s love for the world around us. What an adventure!
Father, we are so grateful for the love You have shown us in sending Your Son to redeem us and the Holy Spirit to comfort, teach, and guide us. We would be so lost without Your love. Fill us up, Lord, that Your love may overflow from our hearts to those around us. May we love as You have loved us, not only in words but in action. Help us to seek ways to extend Your love to others daily. We take Your hand; please lead us in Jesus’ precious holy name.
