Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
Comment savez-vous que Dieu est chez lui dans votre cœur ? Vous savez quand vous faites des choses aimantes pour bénir la vie des autres ! Tout comme nous faisons confiance et comptons sur l'amour constant de Dieu pour nous, nos frères et sœurs en Christ ont aussi besoin d'amour qui leur soit démontré !
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
How do you know God is at home in your heart? It's an important question! You know when you are doing loving things to bless the lives of others, and your love reflects the Spirit-formed kind of love Paul defines in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7; God is at home in your heart:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
When we consistently act in unloving ways, we show we really do not know God, no matter how much Bible we think we know!
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love (1 John 4:7-8).
Just as we trust and rely on God's constant love for us, our brothers and sisters in Christ need us to show them our love consistently and steadfastly. Love is not only a sign that we have been born of God, but this kind of Spirit-led love is the glue that holds our fellowship together.
Ma Prière...
Dieu d'amour et Père Tout-Puissant, remplis-moi de ton Esprit afin que je puisse être plus aimant envers ma famille, mes amis et ceux que Tu places sur mon chemin afin qu'ils puissent en apprendre davantage sur Jésus et son amour. Au nom de mon gracieux Sauveur, je prie. Amen.
My Prayer...
Loving God and Almighty Father, please open my heart to see how Jesus has loved me. Please fill me with your Spirit so I can love my family, my friends, and those you place in my path with that kind of love. Please use my love for Jesus, for them, and for those around me to help them learn about Jesus and his love for them. In the name of my gracious Savior, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
