God's Way of Loving

Lamentations 3:22-26, “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.”

God is permanent in His love for us. God’s love is unending and never ceasing. Sounds redundant but it can never be overstated that God has persisted in loving us. What if we loved one another the way God’s love us? What would the world we know be like? Let’s try it for a week, how about for one day? Let’s say you wake up at 6 a.m. and go to bed around 11 p.m. That’s 17 hours of loving the world the way in which God loves us. Start the day in prayer asking God to guide you in love and love your day away ending in prayer with confession and forgiveness. They describe what it was like to love the day away with God. Write a note to the blog – tell us how it worked.

Prayer: Loving God we thank You for this gift of the day – it is the present – thank You! Help us to live and love as You taught us to do through the redeeming love of Jesus. Help us be the shining love of Jesus for the world. In Jesus Name we pray. AMEN!
