August 10

Love for Christ is seen in those who have been forgiven.

It is because we have been forgiven

that our heart is filled with love and thankfulness.

The self righteous can never experience the love of Christ.

His love flows through undeserving and unworthy people.

We love Him because He took our condemnation and nailed it to His cross.

We love Him because He takes the failings of our past,

fills us with joy and praise, and leads us into worship.

When we love the Lord we will trust Him at all times;

we will walk in His ways;

we will do His will;

and we will love one another as Christ has loved us.
