Today’s Reflection:
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love
does not know God, for God is love. I John 4:7-8 NKJV

Heavenly Father, Your Word says that if we love not we do not know You for You are love. It also says that others will know Your children by their love for each other. Our love is also to be shown even to our enemies. For what reward have we for loving those who love us. May we choose to bless and pray for those who hurt us. Jesus commands us to love one another as He has loved us. His love is a sacrificial love. There is no greater love than this that a person gives their life for others like Jesus who demonstrated His love for all the world by dying for us while we were still sinners. His everlasting love draws us to Himself: to You. You are not slack concerning Your promise but You are long-suffering towards us not wanting any to perish.  May I choose Jesus and to love others as He did. In Jesus’ Name Amen
