A Potrait Of Love...🙏🏻🌿🌼💞🕊

TODAY’S WORD:

When Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 13, he was not simply giving us a beautiful definition of love. He was painting a portrait of Jesus. Look closely at every line, and we see Christ.

Love is patient. Jesus is patient with us—even when we fail, wander, and fall again. Love is kind. Jesus did not crush the broken; He touched the untouchable, welcomed the rejected, and showed mercy to sinners. Love does not envy or boast. Jesus never needed to prove that He was greater. He humbled Himself and became a servant. Love is not proud, rude, selfish, or easily angered.  Jesus did not live to please Himself. He lived, suffered, and died for others. Love keeps no record of wrongs.  At the cross, Jesus prayed,  “Father, forgive them.”

And then Paul tells us what love does not do. Love does not delight in evil. It does not seek revenge. It does not tear others down. It does not rejoice when someone falls. That challenges us, because sometimes we say, “I love you,” while our words, attitudes, resentment, gossip, impatience, or unforgiveness tell a different story. The question is not simply,  “Do I love?”  The deeper question is:  “Does my love look like Jesus?” We cannot produce this kind of love by ourselves. We need Jesus living His love through us.

Today, let someone encounter Christ—not merely through our words, but through the way we treat them. Lord, make our lives a living portrait of Your love.

 TODAY’S PRAYER:

Father, thank You for this beautiful and blessed day. Teach us to love as Jesus loves—patiently, kindly, humbly, and without keeping records of wrongs. Remove pride, bitterness, selfishness, and anger from our hearts. Help us forgive, serve, and show grace even when it is difficult. Let people see Jesus in the way we live and love. Father, help us to stop making excuses for unloving attitudes. When we are impatient, make us patient. When we are harsh, make us kind. When we are offended, teach us forgiveness. When pride rises in our hearts, bring us back to the foot of the cross. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Finish The Race...🙏🏻🌿🌼💞🕊

TODAY'S WORD:

The Christian life is not about one big moment—it’s about daily faithfulness. It’s choosing God when you’re tired, trusting Him when life feels uncertain, and holding on when your strength feels small. We are saved by grace through Jesus, but when He lives in us, our lives begin to change. His love shapes how we think, speak, and treat others. Each day is a quiet preparation for eternity—a chance to grow closer to Him and reflect His character.

Finishing the race doesn’t mean we never fall. It means we keep getting back up, surrendering again, and allowing God to lead. Through His Word, through prayer, and through the Holy Spirit, He gives us everything we need to endure. One day, when Jesus returns, the greatest joy will not be what we achieved, but that we remained faithful—that we trusted Him and followed where He led.

So today, take one step with Him. Be patient. Be kind. Stay faithful in the little things. God sees your heart, and He is guiding you all the way home.

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Father, thank You for this beautiful and blessed day. Help me to stay faithful in every moment. Fill me with Your Spirit and shape my life to reflect Your love. Keep my heart focused on You, and give me strength to endure to the end. Strengthen my faith when I feel weak, and remind me that You are always with me. Help me to trust Your promises and walk closely with You each day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Power Of Truth...🙏🏻🌿🌼💞🕊

There is a great amount of truth professed, but truth practiced in relieving our fellow men is of great influence, reaching unto heaven, and compassing eternity. Every soul in our world is on trial; every man’s experience, the common life history, tells in unmistakable language whether he is a doer of Christ’s words and His works. There is constantly recurring a large array of little things that God alone sees; to act out in these things the principles of truth will bring a precious reward. The great and important things are recognized by nearly all, but the knitting of these things with the supposed smaller things of life and closely connecting them as one, is too rarely done by professed Christians. Religion is too much profession, and too little reality.

The Power Of Truth...🙏🏻🌿🌼💞🕊

Let it be printed on the mind that mercy and the love of God are to be expressed to the children of God. Search heaven and earth, and there is no truth revealed more powerful than that which is manifested in mercy to the very ones who need your sympathy and aid in breaking the yoke, and setting free the oppressed. Here the truth is lived, the truth is obeyed, the truth is taught as it is in Jesus.

The Power Of Truth...🙏🏻🌿🌼💞🕊

Truth, precious truth, is sanctifying in its influence. The sanctification of the soul by the operation of the Holy Spirit is the implanting of Christ’s nature in humanity. It is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ revealed in character, and the graces of Christ brought into active exercise in good works. Thus the character is transformed more and more perfectly after the image of Christ, in righteousness and true holiness. There are broad requirements in divine truth stretching out interfacing into one line after another of good works. The truths of the gospel are not unconnected; uniting they form one string of heavenly jewels, as in the personal work of Christ, and like threads of gold they run through the whole of Christian work and experience....

Let God Work The Clay...🙏🏻🌿🌼💞🕊

Every child of God is to do his very best to uplift the standard of truth. He is to work in God’s order. If self is exalted, Christ is not magnified. In His Word God compares Himself to a potter, and His people to the clay. His work is to mold and fashion them after His own similitude. The lesson they are to learn is the lesson of submission. Self is not to be made prominent. If due attention is given to the divine instruction, if self is surrendered to the divine will, the hand of the Potter will produce a shapely vessel (Letter 78, 1901).

The Potter cannot mold and fashion unto honor that which has never been placed in His hands. The Christian life is one of daily surrender, submission and continual overcoming. Every day fresh victories will be gained. Self must be lost sight of, and the love of God must be constantly cultivated. Thus we grow up into Christ. Thus the life is fashioned according to the divine model (Manuscript 55, 1900).
