I have loved you with a love that lasts forever.
And so with unfailing love,
I have drawn you to myself.
1 JOHN 4:16 (NRSV)
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Embrace the reality of God's love -- and never let go.
PRAYER
Glorious God, you never fail to love. It drives everything you do -- who you are -- and who you've called us to become. We confess, though, that we're not very good at receiving love -- let alone giving it. Help us -- help me -- to embrace your love -- to receive it as I receive you. I'm going to live in your love as it is poured out through Christ Jesus. Amen.
