THE WORD FOR TODAY.

PURSUE CHRIST AND LET HIS LOVE SHINE THROUGH YOU.
JOHN 13:34–35
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples.”
At the heart of following Christ is a powerful trait: sacrificial, unwavering agape love. This love persists despite hurts and challenges; it reflects Jesus’ love for us.
It’s more than words.
It’s more than feelings.
It’s shown through actions.
Loving is easy when blessings flow. But it’s tested when ignored, misunderstood, or rejected. Still, Christ calls us to love, and not because it’s convenient, but because it’s His way.
This love is:
* Patient amid trials
* Kind when undeserved
* Forgiving through difficulty
* Selfless, even at a cost
Loving as Christ did means choosing to emulate Him, even when your emotions push back. It’s about extending grace, pursuing peace, and caring beyond reciprocity.
This isn’t natural; it’s spiritual. It flows from surrendering fully to Christ and His Word.
And as you walk closer with Him, this love in you deepens. Because love isn’t just something you give, it’s the mark of who you follow. Love is proof you’re a disciple of Christ.
REFLECTION:
Who is God calling you to love differently today?
PRATER:
Lord, teach me to love like You. Help me show patience, kindness, and forgiveness, even when it’s hard. Let Your love flow through me so others may see You in my life. In Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!!
