Question: HOW DOES YOUR LOVE BUBBLE UP IN RESPONSE TO OTHERS TODAY?
Transcript of Video:
Love is one of the reasons for our existence, but in order to love, I think we need to start with the truth that is found in the first letter of John: we love because God first loved us. Our love is a response to God’s great love, and we respond to that love with gratitude. Love is something we receive as a gift from God and it should bubble up and cause us then to respond to other people and whatever is going on with that sense of the love of God. That life that we have is, for each of us, our own gift from God, which we are giving to God as a response to his love.

Blessings on our journey to re-order time in our lives,
