Day 266 - (Today’s Bible readings: Joel 2:12-17; Psalm 82; Romans 12:1-21)
“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor... Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:9-10, 21 ESV)
How do you measure up? Need help? Then focus on this godly definition of love: “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” (1 John 4:10 NIV)
Love in Christ is strong and living,
Binding faithful hearts in one;
Love in Christ is true and giving,
May His will in us be done.
(“Love in Christ is Strong and Living”, The Lutheran Service Book, CPH 2006, #706 stanza 1)
Lord Jesus, may Your dying love for mankind motivate me to return Your love by loving others. Amen.
Pastor David Paape
