Reflection:
1 Corinthians 8:1-7, 11-13, Luke 6:27-38
“The Power of Love”

The people we encounter each day are there in our life for a reason. God puts them in our way so that we can love, not hate; show compassion, not judgement.

As God’s beloved children, we can love our friends and enemies because He has given us the capacity to love with His compassionate love. The greatest tragedy in life is when we start building barriers against others because of our prejudices, fears and insecurities. Today, let us go back to the gentle voice within us that calls us again and again, “You are my Beloved child. I love you, and my favour rests on you.”

This is the truth of who we are. It is this truth that will lead us to break down the walls we have built and learn to love others with God’s love.Let us pray and listen to the voice of God as He affirms us and strengthens us to choose love today!

Question for reflection:
How can I choose to put love into action today?
