READ
John 15:10-15
10 ”When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. 11 I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! 12 This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. 13 There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.”

REFLECT
We are commanded to love each other the way Jesus loved us. That seems impossible. However, the Holy Spirit will help us. We can show sacrificial love by listening, helping, encouraging, giving, and comforting others. It takes time and effort to show God’s love. It’s actually the best gift you can give to someone - your time.

Father, You always give me what I need. I need to grow more love in my life. Bring others into my path that I can show Your love to. Thank you for sending Jesus to show the ultimate love by dying on the cross for my sins. Remind me daily the importance of Your love in my life and others.
