Thoughts on Today's Verse...

What an incredible thought! God can be seen in my home when I love those in my family. The Father of the universe lives in my church, and his presence can be recognized when I love those in my church family. Almighty God's love is recognizable in my life when I love those around me and when we choose to be loving instead of petty, unforgiving, critical, and harsh to our brothers and sisters in Christ. God reveals his presence, power, and perfection in us! God is love; we reveal his presence when we do love each other.

My Prayer...

O Father, please make your presence, power, and perfection known through my love for your children and our love for each other. In Jesus' name, I ask this. Amen.
