Congrats Ginny on your 1/2 marathon #2! Huge accomplishment!
S - Beloved let us love one another for love is from God and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent his only begotten son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son to be the propitiation for our sins.
O - It is impossible to love without Christ. Love started with Him and if we don't know him and the forgiveness of our sins through him we can never know real true love.
A - as a kid we learned a lot of "Bible verse songs" which now people call praise choruses!!! This passage was one of my favorite songs.
Because Christ gave himself for me I can love. My relationships should be filled with his love and I should share it and live it with everyone around me. It may be the only way for some people to see and experience Christ.
P - Lord sometimes it is really hard to love. Thank you for demonstrating and giving us an example of what love is and not the love this world offers. Show me how to get better at loving others daily.
Thanks for the encouragment!
