Daily Devotion - Monday, February 20

Where Is the Love?

“A friend loves at all times,
And a brother/sister is born for adversity.”

--Teachings from Wisdom literature (Proverbs 17: 17)

Stopping to think about all the ways people tried to communicate “I love you” last Tuesday would be mind-boggling. That holiday is designed for people to share with one another tangible statements of our affection. I hope you enjoyed the day!

Today is also a good day to express your “I love you” to those who have shaped your life. Spending some time in meditation, remembering family members who have died and family members who are miles and miles away can nurture significant relationships. Spending some time with people you know who are lonely and grieving is another way to deepen the significance of living in community.

Take some quiet time today. Think about friends who are experiencing adverse times and assure them that they are loved. Think about those who have helped in your formation process and allow that old relationship to take on new meaning. Spread the love, from your heart to the hearts of others. As we take that kind of time, we will experience a blessed start to our week! Go for it, friends! Enjoy the day!
