📖 Verse of the Day

“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”

Reflection:

"God is love." These three simple words hold a truth so profound that they can change how we see God and ourselves.

When we say "God is love," we're not just describing one of His qualities. We're declaring who He is. Love isn't just something God does; it's His very essence. This love is unlike any other—steadfast, relentless, and unconditional. It pursues us in our darkest moments, sees beauty in our brokenness, and never gives up on us.

This amazing love isn't meant to be kept to ourselves. It's meant to change us, heal our wounds, and shape our hearts. As we understand God's deep love for us, we're changed from the inside out, overflowing with love for those around us.

When we truly meet the God who is love, we can't help but share that love. It spills out of us, touching the lives of everyone we meet and bringing light to dark places. God's love is powerful, capable of changing hearts, lives, and even the world. And it all starts with three simple words: "God is love."

Ask Yourself:

  • How can I show God's love to someone who needs it today?

  • Am I allowing God's love to transform me from the inside out?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Loving God,

Thank you for your love that never fails me, even when I fail myself. Fill me with that same unfailing love, Lord. A love that overflows from me, blessing everyone I meet. Help me share your love with a world that's hurting, that's lost, that's searching for hope.

May my life be a love letter to you, Lord. A love letter written not with ink, but with acts of kindness, words of encouragement, and a heart that beats for you.

In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
