Devotional Reflection

LoveGratitudeCompassionAwe

Words are used to talk and explain. We can say that we love someone. We can tell them how much we value them. Actions prove and prove again. When we give up what we want for someone else, we show respect and love. When we give up ourselves, our wants, and our preferences for a friend, we give the greatest gift of all and prove beyond any doubt that we love that person.

Prayer

Father, thank you for loving me so much that you sent your Son as a ransom for my sins. Jesus, thank you for your loving sacrifice that not only saved me but also showed me the depth of your love. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
