Beloved Today

The Love of God

Scripture
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
Psalm 63:3 (KJV)

Reflection

Love is the first language of God. Psalm 63:3 reminds us, "Because thy lovingkindness is better than life…" — and this love is not abstract. It came down. It became flesh. It bled. It rose. It still calls your name. Today, do not hurry past the staggering kindness of being loved by the Lord of heaven. Sit with it. Let it warm what is cold inside you. Let it heal what is hidden. Then let it move outward, gently and naturally, to the people the Lord places in your path.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, settle Your love into my heart today. Quiet my fears, soften my edges, and help me love others as You have loved me. Amen.
