DEVOTION: Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God and everyone that loves is born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7
This past weekend I introduced what I call PRAYER AND CARE JOURNALS during the sermon. These are journals that you can use to list people who may need your prayers or your care and then hold yourself accountable to do it for them.
It is a very simple thing, but one that will help you do what God has called you to do. That's right. GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO LOVE!!
As we are all human beings though, we often fall short of God's requirements and commands. We don't even come close to doing what God wants us to do. That is why God sent His Son, Jesus to die for us.
That doesn't mean we give up and quit trying to love the Lord our God and our neighbor as ouselves. It is just the opposite. By the power of the Holy Spirit who now lives in us, we are able to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Because we are saved we are no slaves to HIS righteousness which causes us to strive toward what is ahead and forget about what is behind to take hold of heaven.
I want to urge you to make use of those prayer and care journals, but not out of a sense of duty or because you feel as though you have to. I want you to use them with a joyful spirit so that you may grow in Christ and grow others in Christ as well.
Prayer: Lord God, we thank you for giving us the power to pray for and care for others as you have cared for us. Help us to do it so that both others as well as we ourselves may be blessed by you. Amen.
