“And this hope will not lead to disappointment.
For we know how dearly God loves us,
because he has given us the Holy Spirit
to fill our hearts with his love. ”
-Romans 5:5 [NLT]

A Time to Think… “Open your hearts to the love God instills . . . God loves you tenderly. What He gives you is not to be kept under lock and key, but to be shared .”  ―Mother Teresa 

A Time to Act… Is your morning thought about who you can love today? Why not try it, why not invite God by asking “who needs your love and how can I help them? It is when we reach out and help someone by sharing our love and time that we lift up one another.

A Time to Pray… O God, help me not to be stingy with my love today—or any day—and to give the gift of love generously to those around me. It is in this giving, they see you at work through your people. Love is life-giving and you gave it all through your Son, Jesus, for me and for everyone. My heart is forever filled with gratitude for what you have done and my mouth sings out Hallelujah, Hallelujah-AMEN!
