We Grow: A Journey of Drawing Closer to God

DAY 173 OF 365

Day 173 of 365

The Song of Solomon captures the beauty of love and the joy of being deeply connected with another. This poetic imagery also mirrors the depth of God’s love for us and invites us to live with that same kind of devotion and care. In Acts 6, we see the early church caring for one another, appointing deacons to ensure everyone’s needs were met. This unity reflects the Spirit’s call for us to serve others out of love, ensuring no one is overlooked.

The Spirit transforms our love into service, compelling us to embody compassion and kindness. Just as love in the Song of Solomon is celebrated in word and deed, our service reflects our love for God and for others. This love isn’t only our calling but a privilege that draws us closer to God’s heart.

Today, ask the Holy Spirit to deepen your love and expand your capacity for service. Seek ways to serve others in meaningful and intentional ways, letting God’s love flow through your actions. As you do, may you reflect the beauty of God’s love to those around you, creating connections that honor Him.
