DAY 6: Monday, October 6
TOPIC: Love and Forgiveness
SCRIPTURE: “So this is my command: Love each other deeply, as much as I have loved you. For the greatest love of all is a love that sacrifices all. And this great love is demonstrated when a person sacrifices his life for his friends.” – John 15:12-13 (TPT)
OBSERVATION: God is love. We, as humans, know and can demonstrate love only because God first loved us. We are never more like Jesus than when we sacrificially love, which includes forgiving those who have hurt us. Forgiveness is not saying the hurt done to you was okay, but it is proclaiming that you are okay. Forgiveness allows you to replace the detrimental force of pain with the life-giving power of love. Forgiveness requires sacrifice, but it is a sacrifice that restores life and demonstrates the love of God.
PRAYER: Father God, thank you for teaching us how to love by loving us so perfectly. Thank you for being the perfect example of sacrificial love and forgiveness. Help us to follow the example of Jesus as we let go of wrongs done to us and connect with the freedom of forgiveness and the power of love. It is in the mighty name of Jesus that we pray. Amen!
