Love is the binding force that makes us one with God. Without love, there can be no relationship.
God's work done in you is all because of love. Today, the Lord brings you back to the gospel truth that totally changed your life. It is your love for the Lord that opened the doors of heaven for you to experience the great wonders, receive tremendous graces and blessings, and vast wealth and riches from the Lord your God.
Love always overcomes all your trials and sufferings in life. If you are facing moments of great distress and overwhelming challenges, do not loose hope. Your life is at the palm of God's Hands. You belong to Him and He can do whatever He likes. Remember that it is not about you but the Lord who works for good in you. Face challenges head on and persevere in love for God and one another.
God desires love and knowledge of Him above anything else (Hos 6:6). Jesus said, "If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent (Mt 12:7). It is not the sacrifice but the reason for the sacrifice. "To love Him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices" (Mt. 12:33). The right sacrifice is to do good and rebuild out of love and not to destroy. Do not be convinced of your own righteousness and despised everyone else.
The Lord's going forth is sure as the dawn. God Works to fulfill His one desire, "Love". God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (Jn 3:16). All the Lord does is because of love. As God is Love, His work in you must always be grounded in love for Him and for others. Love the Lord with all your heart, understanding, and strength (Mk 12:30). God's work is all because of love. Face challenges head on and persevere in love for one another. Love always overcomes all your trials and sufferings in life. This is your priority as you live the Gospel truth.
God is aware that you would fail Him even before it actually happens. Wherever you go and whatever you do, God is always with you. None of yourself is worth boasting before God because He sees your heart and knows your transgressions and sins against Him. Humble yourself and you will be exalted. Only by having a humble heart and contrite spirit will you fully experience your relationship with God and with others at its fullness.
