My body made it through another day! Thank You, Father, for the strength and wherewithal to finish power washing the house and then get everything mowed up before the rain comes in later this week. You are the Rock upon which I stand!
Colossians 3:14 (<<click here to read the passage)
Harmony in love, both are very fulfilling, but to really be what they are, I cannot have only one component. I can sing a solo a cappella, which can be nice, but it’s so much more fun if it becomes a duet, or a trio, or a choir. Throw in some instruments, and the possibilities are endless! Love is the same way. I can love myself, but it is not nearly as enjoyable as loving someone else! Thinking of loving God and others has so many facets and possibilities. The breadth and depth of what that means take my breath away!
When I work together, and I am clothed in love with all my brothers and sisters in Christ, harmony is generated. Too often, a lack of love brings discord to the faith community. Lord, help me to be a conductor of love. And enable me to allow love to permeate my being to the very core. Change me so that every thought, every action, every word, everything that motivates me is immersed and filled with love. Help me be a sponge dunked in love so that no matter how anyone interacts with me, love will touch them somehow. It’s a challenge, I know. It’s not my normal leaning. I want my needs, my comfort, my satisfaction. My love for others does come through, but it needs to come through more! I pray that love in action becomes my leaning! And man, I pray that my countenance would be like the guy in this picture! Love in action!
