Scripture
1 John 4:12 No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us--perfect love!
Observation
I am struck by the pivotal words in this verse...BUT IF WE...that clearly leads me to the fact that there's a...BUT IF WE DON'T...version. With ramifications like God dwells deeply within us and His love becomes complete in us I'd clearly prefer the first...
Q: Am I going to choose to live like that requires me to?
Application
I have a busy day of tidying up ahead of my August downtime. A busy me tends to show the real me since I have less time to consider my actions & responses. My desire is that the real me will be loving, over & above that, I will apply myself to loving others.
Prayer
Father - thank you for your word & a reminder of the absolute essential of Your love. As I play my part in loving others today, please help me to represent you well & leave people feeling a little closer to you as a result of our encounter.
