Did you know that God’s love is amazing and powerful? It binds up all our emotional and spiritual wounds. If you’re feeling weak today, God’s love says, “You are valuable. I treasure you. Whatever is wrong in you, I can make it right.” Do you think you are unworthy? God’s love says, “I made you; I redeemed you; and I want you with me forever!” God’s everlasting, perfect love has the ability to rebuild you from the inside out why not let Him?
Love can become the compelling, motivating, energizing force for what we say and do. As you face choices today, ask yourself if love is the motivating force behind your decisions. Pray for the Holy Spirit’s help so that you will reflect God’s selfless love to the people around you.
Today, when your friend offends you, love will help you forgive them. When a stranger needs help, love will compel you to assist them. If your neighbour is hurting, love will drive you to comfort them. If you allow the Holy Spirit to work through you, love will transform the way you live your entire life.
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love” (1 Corinthians 16:13-14).
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, I pray that Your Spirit will help me today to be compelled by love in all I say and do. Father, may my life be transformed as Your Spirit works in me, teaching me to love the way You do. In Jesus’s name, Amen.
