Loving someone can feel like a battle. But the battle we often fight is to put aside our own desires and put forward the needs of the other person.
Pray
Lord Jesus, you know how hard it is to love people the way you intend—especially certain people. Thank you that you provide the power to do what seems impossible.
Read
Paul writes to a church family and notes that though they can enjoy freedom from traditional ceremonial laws, they still must live by the great law to love one another.
Galatians 5:13-14
Reflect
Have you been a part of or witnessed a really loving relationship? Specifically, what did the people in that relationship do to show love to each other?
Respond
How are you tempted to serve your own desires instead of the needs of others? What is one small thing you can do differently?
