For You From The Word
Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
(John 13:34)
For You To Think About
First in a series
Jesus made no secret of the fact that He wanted us to love each other. Yet He didn’t leave us wondering how to go about it. He provided a model for us to follow in loving one another.
The disciples experienced this love firsthand. Here’s how Jesus loved them:
- He spoke kindly to them.
- He was concerned about their welfare.
- He “did life” with them.
- He instructed and counseled them.
- He comforted them.
- He prayed with them and for them.
- He took their part when they were accused or run down.
- He publicly acknowledged them as family.
- He looked for the best in them.
These men were humble people struggling to make their way. The world did not respect them. Likewise, women and men who face an unplanned pregnancy often feel alone, struggling to make their way.
God does not leave us wondering about how to go about loving them. He showed us what to do in the model Jesus gave us.
For You To Pray
Heavenly Father,
Thank you modeling your amazing love through Jesus. Bring into my life those who face an unplanned pregnancy. Allow me the privilege of loving them as you love us.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
