Word
of Hope for Today with PRC
Keep Growing In Love
“Your love for one another is growing.” 2Th 1:3 NLT
Today’s
Insight
When
Paul says, “Your love for one another is growing,” it’s not the kind where
life’s perfect and everybody accommodates you. God’s intention is to “grow” you
into the kind of love that’s not defined by your feelings, but a sacrificial
love that says, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but
Christ lives in me” (Gal 2:20 NIV). It’s possible to be in love with the idea of
a perfect marriage, without actually loving your mate. Or the dream of
what your kids could become, if only they’d follow your advice. But when it
comes to loving a rebellious teen who acts like “the other side of the family,”
it’s a growing process that puts your love to the test.
Jesus
said, “As I have loved you…you must love one another” (Jn 13:34 NIV), and He
never asks us to do anything without giving us the ability to do it. So are you
ready to do a little growing? Author Kristin Armstrong says: “When we’re hurt
it’s common to withdraw. But the worst thing a parent can do is to withhold
affection in response to a child’s behavior. A child’s heart grows when it’s
nurtured with unconditional love. Affection doesn’t depend on behavior, mood or
circumstances. Being pleasing does not equate to being lovable.
Imagine
if Jesus loved us only when we behaved perfectly. We’d never experience His
affection, and consequently we’d wither away. And since Jesus is our example,
we need to love others with Christlike grace. He loves us according to His capacity,
not according to the degree of our merit. We must love
others…not by our standards but by His.” So, our Word for Today is Keep Growing in
Love.
Prayer
for Today
O heavenly Father thank you for your Word Today. Lord thank
you for showing your unconditional love to us. Because of your great love to
us, we experienced loving those who can’t be loved. Lord thank you for teaching
us to love one another unconditionally. As being your follower may your love to
us continue to keep growing the same with us so that by showing our love to
others it will open a great opportunity to share your good news of salvation to
them that might be saved for your glory. In Jesus name! Amen!
Prayer
for Salvation
Father in heaven I admit that I am a sinner; I repent
of all my sins and accept your Son Jesus Christ as my Personal Lord &
Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer from the bottom of your heart you are now
saved, it is God's... promise in John 3:16 - that if you trust His Son (Jesus)
you will not perish or die but you will have ETERNAL LIFE. To develop your
Faith look for a local Bible Based
Church in your area and serve God first place in your life I promise you
that if you do that, God will take you to a place that you have never dream of
and your life will never be the same again.
Again congratulations and welcome to the family of God.
God bless you!
