TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"We know, dear brothers and sisters, that God loves you and has chosen you to be his own people"
1 Thessalonians 1:4
TODAY'S WORD:
When Paul wrote to the Thessalonians, he began his letter with a compliment about how well they were living. He could see God's love in them and he could see God's love shining through them. Because they were faithful to honor God, He was pleased with them and it showed. I spoke yesterday to our Men for Father's day on Psalm 112 and challenged each of us to step up begin to behave Godly and not to wait another day.
The question we need to ask ourselves today is: When others look at us, do they see God's love? Can they see the change He's made in us? Do they know that we are followers of His? The evidence shows up in our words and actions and where we spend our time. When we receive God's love, it changes us. It empowers us. His love takes us to new levels and becomes clear to the people around us. They want what we have…they are inspired by how God is working in our lives and in our families and our communities.
Best of all Selah people' and friends, when His love shows through us, it draws others to God, too! Today, open your heart fully to receive His love. Let His love show through you by following His commands and showing love to others.
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father in Heaven, thank You for loving me. Thank you for empowering me and changing me to be more like You. Have Your way in my heart so that Your love will shine through me. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
In Christ service,
Patrick
