I
John 13:34-35
I give you a new
commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also
should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
Reflection:
“The Loving
Heart lifts up the Christian as one of genuine relationships rooted in truth
and love. I deeply believe that the only reason we can? ourselves in love to
God and to others is because God first loved us. God loves us so much that he
gave himself to us in Christ Jesus, our Lord. I John 4:19 states: “We love,
because he first loved us.”
A song that came
to mind after reading this statement from Tim is “Here I am, Lord.” This should
be a familiar tune to many. The
first line is, “I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry. All who
dwell in dark and sin my hand will save.” This demonstrates what a loving heart is. When we hear
of those struggling, we reach out to help. This is an action of love.
Reflection Questions:
When
did you first feel loved?
How has God
demonstrated how to love you?
Prayer
Lord, we are
thankful for the ways in which You teach us to love. You hear our cries and You
comfort us. Allow our hearts to be guided during this time to grow closer to
You. Amen
