Daily Devotions - Thursday, February 28

Some Final Thoughts on Love

Work is generally challenging and rewarding. Discovering the delicate balance needed to make it through the day nudges us to explore and understand love.

I work in a place where bringing health, healing and life are our primary goals. I work in a place where experiencing death, grief and loss are not supposed to happen, but they do! The reality is I journey with people in every rhythm of the life experience. One wisdom writer said, “there is a time for every season.” There is one significant opportunity I have working in a caregiving institution—the challenge to demonstrate love, care and compassion. Whether in life or in death, I can be a person whose loving spirit lets clients feel loved.

We’ve focused on love during this month of meditations. Know that you are loved!! “Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God and everyone that loves is born of God and knows God.” (1 John 4: 7)
