We Grow: A Journey of Drawing Closer to GodSample
Day 6 of 365
In Genesis 17, God establishes a covenant with Abram, promising to make him the father of many nations. This covenant is a powerful expression of God’s faithfulness, and it requires Abram’s obedience and commitment. In Matthew 5, Jesus takes the call to righteousness even further, teaching us to love even our enemies, to forgive, and to pursue peace relentlessly.
Through Jesus, we, too, are invited into a covenant with God—one marked by faithfulness, love, and grace. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live out this covenant, filling us with the compassion and strength needed to love others deeply and forgive those who have wronged us. The Spirit helps us fulfill God’s call to love unconditionally, as Jesus loved us.
Today, reflect on the faithfulness of God’s covenant in your life. How can you honor this covenant by walking in Spirit-led love, even toward those who are challenging to love? Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with a compassionate heart that reflects God’s grace, empowering you to live in love each day.
