(Love)
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. -- 1 John 4:7 (NKJV)
Learn It
Love is the selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional affection that God has for us and that we are called to have for others. It is the greatest commandment and the foundation of our faith. Love reflects God's character and His relationship with us.
Live It
We live out the love of God by putting others before ourselves and seeking their well-being. God’s love for us helps us to show kindness, compassion, and forgiveness in our daily interactions. We daily and intentionally strive to let our actions be motivated by love and to build meaningful and loving relationships with those around us.
Give It
We can share love with others by serving them and meeting their needs. Volunteer your time and resources to help those in need. Show love through acts of kindness and generosity. Be a source of encouragement and support to those around you.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your unconditional love. Help us to love others as You have loved us. Overflow our hearts with Your love so that we pour it out into the world. Remind us daily that following You means loving others as You love us. Make us a blessing as we share the gift of Jesus Christ, Your greatest gift of love, to the world. In Jesus' name, Amen.
