Thoughts on Today's Verse...

An unloving person doesn't know God. It's that simple. Enough said. No more words are needed. So, let's seek the Holy Spirit's power, poured into our hearts by God's grace, so we can love as God has loved us (Romans 5:5).

My Prayer...

Father, please bless me with a loving heart and a lifestyle that generously shares your love with others. To help me do this as I should, as you want me to love, please keep pouring your love into my heart through the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
