Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Showing love means sharing God's grace and giving life to someone else. No one has demonstrated this principle as fully as Jesus! His sacrifice saved us and brought us fresh and eternal life from God. God wants us to show this love to others in ways they can understand and appreciate that love and can know the love God has for them. They see God's love in how we live as love draws them closer to our loving Father through us.

My Prayer...

Holy Lord, my heavenly Father, thank you for today. Please help me share my life with someone else who needs to experience your grace. Please help me notice those who are wounded and give me wisdom on the best way to lead them lovingly back to you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
