Our 3 ½ year-old-granddaughter loves to play and explore outside. Lately, Della has been fascinated with lovebugs and lizards. Last week, she was playing with lovebugs and they became disconnected. Lori noticed that she was working intently on something on the patio. When she questioned Della to find out what she was doing, she replied, “I’m trying to make them love again.” Her response made me think of how much God desires the same thing for His children.
With the distractions of COVID-19, the election, and the upcoming Holiday Season, we need to be intentional about choosing to express love through our words (both spoken and written), actions, reactions, thoughts, and deeds. Whether planned or random, these are important times to show love again.
Love…
is patient,
is kind,
does not envy,
does not boast,
is not proud,
does not dishonor others,
is not self-seeking
is not easily angered
keeps no records of wrongs
does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth
always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Do everything in love.
1Corinthianas 16:14
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
John 13:34-35
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what is says.
James 1:22
