It’s Your Love

Feb 14, 2022

Today’s Scripture

John 13:35, NKJV
By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.

Today’s Word

It's easy to write off someone because they don't believe as we do, they're making poor decisions, or they're against what we stand for. Too often we try to make them believe, but some things don't happen overnight. Their heart may not be open yet, but at the right time God will soften their heart. Will you keep sowing seeds of love in that friend who shows no sign of changing? Will you keep loving that family member who says they don't believe. Will you keep praying for that coworker who ridicules believers?

Jesus said your love for one another will prove you are His follower. It's not by your doctrine, not by how many Scriptures you can quote, not by how right you are, but by how much you love them. You don't judge them. You don't look down because they don't believe as you do. You just keep loving and being good to them. They're in your life because God is counting on you to help them change.

Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for Your unconditional love for me when I've been at my worst and farthest from You. Thank You for the people You've brought into my life that I might love and encourage in their journey to faith. Help me to be a reflection of Your love and to always be there for them. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

A psalm of David. 1  Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;    the LORD delivers them in times of trouble. 2  The LORD protects and preserves them—    they are counted among the blessed in the land—    he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. 3  The LORD sustains them on their sickbed    and restores them from their bed of illness. 4  I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD;    heal me, for I have sinned against you.” 5  My enemies say of me in malice,    “When will he die and his name perish? ” 6  When one of them comes to see me,    he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;    then he goes out and spreads it around.

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing."

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing." : Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore. Song of Songs 8:7 TPT I Hear His Whisper . . . Trust my timing.   The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, "It seems I am standing still and going nowhere." But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me. I will make it happen and will show you my perfection. What often feels like an endless season of waiting is often a time of preparation. You must believe in things you cannot see. You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf
