Welcome to February’s devotional entitled LOVE IS.
For the next five days we will allow the scriptures to paint a portrait of love. It only seems natural to begin with what’s often referred to as the “love chapter” which is 1 Corinthians 13. Paul provides a clear, distinct definition of love, what it is and is not.
Christ instructs us to love God with our full being (heart, mind and body) and others as ourselves, cultivating self-love then so love can be shared.
To genuinely love others begins with loving God and yourself.
It’s a challenge to pour from a leaking vessel. An unhealed heart is like a cracked cup that struggles to hold its contents.
God is the Potter and we are His clay. Only He can repair the vessel, seal the cracks with Christ’s shed blood and fill it with Himself who is the embodiment of Love.
As we begin this study, let us start with a healed heart which is readily available simply by asking, today, right now in this moment.
Love is grace based, power packed, life changing and the perfect portrait of God Himself because He is love. It is lavished upon us, filling us, replenishing us and stands ready to forgive, heal, comfort, guide and counsel us through every season and storm of life.
Welcome to Love Is: A Five Day Devotional.
