My Devotional Journal: Today's ODB author, David C McCasland, teaches a strong truth about love overcoming conflict and how we should express ourselves in the midst of such conflict with others, especially with those we love. The ODB author wrote: A wise friend advised me to avoid using the words “you always” or “you never” in an argument—especially with my family. How easy it is to criticize others around us and to feel unloving toward those we love. But there is never any variation in God’s enduring love for us all.
Good advice, isn’t it; … especially since we Christian are commanded to love one another as God loves us? And my Christians readers likely know what Jesus said about the extent of God’s love in John 3:16, don’t you? It’s limitless, isn’t it?
And King David (in the Psalms related above) praised the Lord for His unbridled/unlimited love; and New Testament writers, especially Jesus’ beloved friend, the Apostle John, wrote, (in 1John 3, 4) of the extent of God’s love for us; and as the Apostle Paul wrote (Rom. 8) how Christians simply cannot be separated from God’s love.
I pray all reading here know those truths, believe them, and then … that we all live them by doing all we can today - and tomorrow - to love others the way God loves us.

My THANKFULNESS: … Oh Lord, Jesus, thank You for Your unlimited love, in and thru my relationship with your Son, King Jesus.

My Prayer Today: Abba Father, … King Jesus, … Precious Spirit … Help me to love others today the way You love me. … Amen
