Daily Devotional Entry#90:
Constant Love- “Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4: 8 (NRSV)
Q & A?:
Who can you identify in your life that needs to see the heart of God? Can you commit to showing them love this week?
My answer:
It's easy to get caught up in the rhythm of our daily lives, isn't it? The endless tasks, the constant pull of responsibilities, the general hum of the world. Sometimes, in the midst of it all, we can forget to truly see the people around us. I'm not just talking about noticing they're there, but seeing them with the kind of profound love, grace, and understanding that I believe is at the very core of God's heart. This past week, a question gently settled in my spirit, something I've been reflecting on deeply: “Who in my life needs to see the heart of God?” It wasn't about who needs to hear a sermon or be told what to believe; it was about who needs to experience unconditional love, radical acceptance, and genuine compassion, perhaps in a way they haven't before or simply haven't felt lately.
As I sat with this question, letting it resonate, a few faces came to mind. Maybe it’s the person who always seems to be struggling, carrying a burden so heavy you can almost feel its weight. Or perhaps the one who's often sharp-tongued or quick to anger, possibly out of their own deep-seated pain or fear. It could even be someone you interact with every single day – a family member, a colleague, a neighbor – whose inner world you rarely consider. For me, it was a mix of these individuals. People I see regularly, but perhaps haven’t truly seen with conscious intention, with a heart open to their deeper needs, until now. And yes, I committed to showing them love this week.
This isn't about grand gestures or trying to "fix" anyone's problems. It's about recognizing that love, in its purest form, often shows up in small, intentional acts that can speak volumes. It might be a moment of truly listening without judgment, offering a genuine compliment when it’s least expected, or simply a warm smile and a kind word when someone looks like they need it most. It could involve offering practical help, even in a small way, or extending grace instead of criticism when the moment calls for it. For me, it’s about pausing, taking a breath, and consciously choosing to respond with patience and understanding, especially when my immediate, perhaps less charitable, reaction might be otherwise.
I truly believe that when we intentionally choose to embody love – this divine, unconditional love – even in the smallest ways, it creates a powerful ripple effect. It's not about being perfect, because none of us are. It’s about being present, open, and willing to be a channel for something bigger than ourselves. When we show up with a heart connected to that divine source of love, we offer a tangible glimpse of grace to those who may be longing for it, whether they consciously know it or not.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of seeing others through Your eyes. Open our hearts wider to those around us who need to experience Your love. Guide us this week in simple, intentional acts of kindness, patience, and understanding. May our lives be a reflection of Your profound grace, bringing comfort and hope to those we encounter. Amen.
