All For Love by MOPS InternationalSample

DAY 7: Love is Our Logo

Love is how other people know we follow Jesus. It's the thing that marks us as disciples. Like Jesus, who loved sacrificially, we are also called to extravagant love that costs us something. 

What we have learned during the pandemic is that a lack of community makes us fragile. It makes small things seem big, and big things seem insurmountable. Isolation and focusing on our own situation makes us fearful and self-absorbed. The best way forward is to widen our view, to focus on someone or something outside of our circumstances. Showing sacrificial love to others calms our mental chatter and provides perspective. 

I challenge you to embrace the transformative power of love, to the point where it starts to affect everything we do — the way we talk to our kids, interact with strangers, handle disappointments, celebrate victories, make decisions. When love floods into our lives, it all shifts. It results in less doom-scrolling, more conversation. Less comparison, more community. Less fear, more confidence. More over-the-top displays of compassion. More patience. More life in our souls. 

You see, love will save us. In fact, it already has, because love’s name is Jesus. 

CONSIDER THIS:   

• What do you want to be known for?   


• How will you show up for others?   


• What does living All For Love look like in practice? 

Write a prayer, committing yourself to wear love as your logo, no matter what.
