Greetings Family,
I pray this week’s devotional finds you in a place of peace and joy. This week, on my Facebook page, I honored my mother in celebration of Juneteenth.
Why celebrate my mom? Two reasons, my mother was my first role model and the first Bible I ever read. A child, under the age of five years old, has no full understanding of what it means to be a Christian. The only examples I had were my mom and dad.
Growing up, my father’s first love was music. My Dad played the organ while my mom and other family members sang in the choir. My mom taught me how to pray the Lord’s Prayer. She also taught me to talk to God any time. She would always say, ” If you are ever scared, just pray and talk to God.
My mom was a Civil Rights Activists, a Social Worker, and a part of the Big Sister Program. The one thing I always saw is that my mom loved helping people. No matter what they looked like, smelled like, what their political position was, or who a person loved, my mom saw everyone as a Child of God that deserved love.
Scriptures of Love
Luke 6:32-36
New International Version
32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Songs of Sharing God’s Love
Precious Family, if we say that we love God but don’t love our brothers and sisters that are different from us, how can we love? The Word says that it is easy to love someone who loves you. Are we guilty of loving ONLY when it’s easy? I hope not. Where would we be if God did that to us.
I will tell you a secret. The more you give love and share it with the world, the more love will come to you. Whatever kinds of seeds you plant Think on these things. Love NEVER FAILS!!!!
I love you with the amazing and everlasting love of Christ Jesus our Lord, Savior. Redeemer, and Wayshower.
