Philippians - Living in the WordSýnishorn
Key Verse:
1 Thessalonians 3:12
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.
Reflection:
As followers of Christ, we have been shown incredible mercy. Jesus stands in the gap for us, counting us worthy of salvation when, by ourselves, we could never measure up. As we live our lives every day in light of the mercy we have received, it shapes us into people of love. We learn to love others out of the overflow of love that Jesus has given us.
Response:
Reflect on the relationships in your life. Consider whether you are extending to others the mercy and love that Jesus has extended to you.
Have you allowed yourself to truly receive the love that Jesus has for you? Take a moment in prayer and ask God to reveal His love to you.
