First Things First

     Where did you learn to love? So many today live in loveless homes. They live with addiction, or abuse or apathy. Our precious children live away from reality, caught looking at a screen, more than looking at creation. We all need unconditional love and a little kindness. We all need someone to listen to our lost hearts and find healing and health.

     Of course, the answer to all of this is Jesus. His love overpowers the deepest hurt. He becomes the parent to the orphan, the answer to the addiction, the healer of all wounds. For anyone to be able to really love, they first need to be loved, really loved; loved in apite of flaws, in spite of mistakes, in spite of everything the world has thrown at us. That love comes from our Creator in the form of His only Son. He loved us first.

We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19

Jesus,
Let Your unconditional love fall on our hurting world. Teach us how to love Your children. You do not want to lose even one.

Amen
