The love

The 3rd Sunday after Epiphany

I worship at your holy temple and praise you for your love and your faithfulness. You were true to your word and made yourself more famous than ever before. ~ Psalm 138:2 (CEV)

I told them what you are like, and I will tell them even more. Then the love that you have for me will become part of them, and I will be one with them. ~ John 17:26 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
God's famous love holds us together.
PRAYER:
Thank you, Lord. I feel loved. Like the psalmist, I want to praise you for your love and faithfulness. I want to worship you even more than I do already. I realize that we love better together -- when we let you fill us with your love -- when together we are one with you. Save us from trying to love on our own. That just seems impossible. So I pray for growing unity with you, Christ Jesus, and all your people. Amen.
