1 John 4:8-10
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
“The greatest honor we can give Almighty God is to live gladly because of the knowledge of his love.”
― Julian of Norwich
Prayer Starter – Lord give us knowledge so that we may love as you love.
