I John 5:1-2: Karlyn

Happy Thanksgiving Week and Good Monday Morning!

S - Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe his commandments.

O - I've always been a very trusting person and take for granted that many people in the world want answers and reasons why things are the way they are.  John does a great job in this whole book explaining the whens and whys of being a child of God.  Here he points out Belief in Christ = we are born of God, Loving the Father = loving other believers, loving God = loving believers and following his commands.

A - I'm doing better at loving others but I still need a lot of help in the area.  I'm realizing the more I love God and the less I love the world the easier loving other people is because it will naturally flow from my love of Him.

P - Lord help me to love you more than anything else.  More than sleep, food, things, and my family.  Give me a genuine compassion and love for those around me.
