Love Deeply

Love Deeply…

Good morning,

As we step into the light of a new day, let’s embrace the deep, transformative love that God encourages us to share with others.

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.  1 Peter 4:8

Love, as Peter teaches, isn’t just a feeling—it’s a deliberate act of the will. To love deeply means to love beyond mistakes, beyond faults, to love in a way that forgives and heals. This kind of love is robust; it doesn’t ignore sin but covers it in grace, offering forgiveness as freely as God offers it to us.

Every day, in every interaction with family, friends, or even strangers, we face choices. We can choose to point out flaws, or we can decide to cover them with love. It’s about extending a hand instead of pointing a finger about building bridges where walls might easily rise.

Today, let’s embrace this incredible love. Let’s choose to see potential in others and offer healing grace. As we practice this transformative love, we’ll not only change the world around us, but we’ll become radiant reflections of God’s own unconditional love – the kind of love that transforms, the kind of love that genuinely covers a multitude of sins.

Does your love genuinely radiate his grace, offering hope and transformation to those around you?

Dear God, Help me embrace Your call to love deeply, beyond the visible faults and the mistakes we all make. Grant me a heart generous enough to see the potential in others, just as You see in me. Give me the strength to offer kindness instead of criticism and to build connections where there could be walls. As I go through today, let me be a bridge-builder in this divided world, reflecting Your transformative love in every interaction. May my actions not only heal others but also change my own heart, making it more like Yours. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Do you know what hurts so very much? It’s love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked, that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then, of course, part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
