Jan 13 - Vignette on Prayer
Today we are looking at 1 John 4:19, which states, that we love each other because the Lord loves us first. The reality is that we will not often know about love until someone proclaims it to us. When someone tells us they love us we make a decision to return the love or not. God loved us first. Even before we knew about him He loved us. As a Christian we are called to love others. Jesus stated in Matt 22:37-40, that we are to love the Lord with all our being and then love others. This is accomplished best through prayer. When we pray we are creating a divine connection. Through this connection we are allowing the Lord to download his love into our hearts. In prayer we are receiving love. Then as we leave our prayer time this love will freely flow because you understand that you are to love one another. So today pray and then love. It is a wonderful gift that you can give others and yourself. In this way you are fulfilling the great commandment which is to love others.
