VERSE:
We love him, because he first loved us.
-- 1 John 4:19
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+John+4:19&translation=kjv
THOUGHT:
As human beings, we like to think of ourselves as the center of
our universe. We determine the greatness or validity of most deeds
based on their impact upon us. We consider ourselves great
adventurers, inventors, and investigators. However, in the most
important quest of all, we did not act first; God did. He loved us
sacrificially. He loved us personally. He loved us first. Our love
is a response to his grace. Our love is simply sharing with others
what has been lavished upon us. We love because he loved us first.
PRAYER:
Almighty God and Abba Father, over these last several days I
have tried to understand your love for me and my fellow humans. I
don't profess to understand your love, but I do know that you have
blessed me with it in ways I could not have imagined. So please,
dear Father, help me remember your great love for me when I am
faced with temptation, led to doubt your love, wonder about my
worthiness, or tempted to be unloving toward anyone. I want your
love to be reflected in my daily life. Thanks for loving mightily.
Thanks for loving sacrificially. Most of all, thanks for loving
first! In Jesus' name I thank you. Amen.
