26 October: Ephesians 4:32-5:2
Key Verse: Ephesians 5:2
and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Devotion:
It saddens me to watch things on the news and the internet where politicians or world leaders always talking ill of others instead of trying to do what they were elected to do!
But, when you take a look at society as a whole, so many of us are reflecting those sort of ideals instead of the love for one another Christ has asked us to follow.
Jesus came and displayed just how good loving one another can be. He came to show the world there is a way forward without all the terrible gossip and lies people tend to spread instead of the uplifting talk we can do instead.
Jesus gave up his own life for us because he knows we have a special thing deep within us which can love one another. Let the love out and share it!
Points to ponder:
How often do you gossip?
Will you try to share a bit more love today instead?
