Reflect and Renew:
As we move through this month of love, today is a perfect time to pause, reflect, and renew our hearts in God’s love. It’s easy to talk about love, but how often do we stop to consider whether our actions truly reflect Christ’s love to those around us?
A Love That Transforms
Jesus didn’t just speak about love—He lived it. Every act of kindness, every moment of compassion, and every sacrifice He made reflected the deep, unconditional love of the Father. In John 13:34-35, Jesus commands us:
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Our love isn’t just for those who are easy to love, but also for those who challenge us, who test our patience, and who may not even recognize our kindness. Christ’s love calls us to go beyond our comfort zones and be a light in the lives of others.
A Heart Check: Do My Actions Reflect God’s Love?
Take a moment to reflect on this: When people interact with me, do they see Jesus? Am I patient in difficult moments? Do I offer grace when others fall short? Do I extend kindness without expecting something in return?
None of us are perfect, but God’s love is a love that transforms. As we spend time in His presence, He refines us so that our words and actions can better reflect Him.
Journal Prompt for Today
Let’s take this reflection deeper. Grab a journal or spend a few moments in prayer and ask yourself:
“How can I show Christ’s love more fully today?”
Maybe it’s through a kind word to a coworker, patience with a difficult person, or a moment of encouragement for someone in need. Whatever it is, take that step today.
