"Now may our God and Father Himself and Jesus our Lord direct our way to you; and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you; so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints." -I Thessalonians 3:11-13 (NASB)
Several years ago I met a passionate teacher that has made it her goal to serve underprivileged students. Yesterday I read an article written by a teacher that graduated from my alma mater and is now teaching in inner city Philadelphia. Both of these teachers don't just talk about making a difference, they are working in the midst of troubled communities and trying to make a difference, beyond this, both teachers exhibit a love for their students that is continually increasing.
As we approach our lives and our interactions with others, we need to carry with us the reminders that we need to demonstrate love. The source of all love is God. We can pray to God that He will increase the love in our hearts and that we can show this love to others in meaningful, productive ways. Through God we can move beyond the problems and find solutions rooted in love, grace, and mercy that can bring us all closer to each other and closer to God. It is through God that we can be forgiven and find increasing love can result in a peaceful eternity with Him!
Pray for increasing love that you can show to all those around you!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and I pray that You continue to give me ever-increasing love. Help me to show Your love to all those around me. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
