EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
1 John 4:16-17
“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world, we are like Jesus.”
Our God loves like no other, and His love engrains us when He expresses it to us. As such, we are to remain close to Him. May His love permeate our family and friends as He loves us, forgiving all transgressions and putting aside all disagreements.
Although we may not think like one another, we respect one another because of God’s commandment to do so. As we seek His heart, He shows us how to love unconditionally. We favor His characteristics and express love in the face of conflicts.
We can’t take back the years the separation and conflict causes, they are forever gone. Find the time and the compassion to see one another as God sees, and know that as long as you are looking to Him, the differences of opinions don’t matter. We must prioritize and direct our emotions toward Him. When we concentrate on God, there is no room for disheartening thoughts and no time like the present to share God’s love. Make memories that last a lifetime.
May God’s forgiveness fall on your hearts and His tender love be the catalyst that mends all hearts.
