Words of Encouragement
February - 19 - 2006
Can you imagine what an honor it is to have the Creator of the universe, the Lord God Almighty, living inside of you! But when we love each other, that is exactly what happens. When our hearts are full of love, there is room for God. When they are not full of love, we leave God little room to take up residence and produce his character in us. Let God complete his love in you. Make a commitment to do loving things for others today!
The Scripture reading is from 1 John 4:11-12.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and his love has been perfected in us.Let us pray.
Abba Father, it is so comforting to know that you are not far away - that we live in you and you live in us. Help us see others with your eyes and respond to their needs with your heart so that your love may be complete in us.
In the name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
