The Best in Us

Posted on February 18, 2025 by Mark Shields

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. – 1 John 4:7

From “Love Transends Space and Time”, love is God’s most wonderful attribute that brings out the best in us as we are unified around faith and community. The source of this love is from God through Jesus who bled, hung, and died on the cross. The effects of love in our life are obedience, care for others, courage, and confidence.

Some of the lyrics from Loving God, Loving Each Other by Gaither Vocal Band is that it’s not complicated and no need for a lot of rules. Making music with friends. Today, let us write with friends so the story never ends.

Love Transends Time and Space

Posted on February 17, 2025 by Mark Shields

What should be the result of God’s love to you? What are the two basic tests for knowing that God abides in your life? What are the effects of love in a person’s life? What is the source of this love?

As we use the questions for reflection and read 1 John 4:7-21, we will focus on the fact that love originates from God and is revealed in His Son who was sent as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Love transcends time and space. Since God loved us so much, we are called to love one another, so God’s love reaches its full expression in us.

The result of God’s love is that we ought to love one another (v. 11). When we love one another, God’s love is perfected in us. There are two basic tests for knowing that God abides in our life. One is that the Spirit of God is in us and the other is that we testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world (v. 13-14).

Love is God’s most wonderful attribute that brings out the best in us as we are unified around faith and community. The source of this love is from God through Jesus who bled, hung, and died on the cross. The effects of love in our life are obedience, care for others, courage, and confidence.

God, You demonstrated Your love for us by sending Jesus to bleed, hang, and die on the Cross. We accept this love and in return, we love others. We care for others, pray for others, and follow the perfect example of love in the life of Jesus. We pray that Your loving Spirit grows in our heart and that it overflows from our heart into the hearts of others as we testify about Your love. Amen.

Thought From Devotional 02-14-2025

Posted on February 14, 2025 by Mark Shields

A thought from reading John 16:12-24 is that when adding up all mixed emotions from despair to joy, let us solve all problems with Jesus. The answer to any problem has Jesus as the common denominator. Ask for God’s help in prayer because He can take a temporary defeat and turn it into a major victory with great joy.

Understanding the Scriptures

Posted on February 13, 2025 by Mark Shields

Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. – Luke 24:45

A key takeaway from “Making Decisions” is that by submitting to God’s love and being well acquainted with His Word or His Truth, we are given knowledge, understanding, and the help needed in making good decisions.

After listening to the song Dear Younger Me by MercyMe, I jotted down some of the words below.

Understanding Scriptures
Set me free to be me
And brings me closer
To where I need to be.

Being guided
In the choices I make
Towards my destiny
In every step I take.
