Today’s Bible Reading: Jeremiah 37, 38, 39; Psalm 79; 2 John 1

Scripture Focus:

2 John 1:5–6 Love one another. This is love, that we walk according to His commandments.

Observation:

Biblical love is not some sort of gushy feeling. It’s doing the right thing, the sacrificial thing, for our fellow Christians and for those who are enemies of Christ.

Application:

I’m essentially a selfish creature. It takes time and effort and giving up my own rights and comforts to love others with this kind of love. I can’t, however, wait around to feel like loving someone. I must do the loving thing for someone and be the extension of Jesus’ sacrificial love.

Prayer:

Father God, you know this doesn’t come easily or naturally to me. This kind of love can only come from you.
