Equipped to Love

“With the power of the Spirit, we are equipped to love our neighbor as ourselves today.”
–Mark Shields

I read this quote the other day and it stuck with me.

With all the fighting in the world that goes on, the disagreements, the hurt feelings…this is so important to internalize.

We have the power to love people. We have the power to love people as we would like to be loved. It’s there. We just need to tap into it.

Thanks, Mark – for the reminder, the motivation and the encouragement.

Have a great day. Go show some love to someone, while you’re at it. 🙂

God’s Spirit

Galatians 5
²² God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, ²³ gentle, and self-controlled. There is no law against behaving in any of these ways.

So rain down, Holy Spirit and fill us with everything we need to possess all of the assets listed above. Thank you for loving us, God. Thank you for giving us these gifts that can stand up to anything that happens here on Earth.

Have a good day everyone.

Justice

John 16:8
The Spirit will come and show the people of this world the truth about sin and God’s justice and the judgment.
