Responding to God's Love
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
‘Every day I put love on the line. There is nothing I am less good at than love. I am far better in competition than love. I am far better at responding to my instincts and ambitions to get ahead and make my mark than I am at figuring out how to love another. I am schooled and trained in acquisitive skills, in getting my own way. And yet, I decide every day to set aside what I can do best and attempt what I do very clumsily – open myself up to the frustrations and failures of loving, daring to believe that failing in love is better than succeeding in pride.’ - Eugene Peterson

About this Plan
We love because God first loved us. Until we have received God’s love, and grasped its breadth, height, and depth, our attempts to love others will falter. Our love is a response to meeting the God who is love, and allowing ourselves to be loved by Him. This 40-day prayer journey focuses on investing time in receiving God’s love, being changed by that love, and responding to that love.
