Morning by Morning, October 19 - “Above All” Do All in Love
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Fill my heart with Your Word and my mouth with Your words (1 Peter 4:11). ...
“Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining. Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To Him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 4:8-11).
Whether speaking or serving, whether helping or leading, give me Your grace to be a good steward all of You’ve entrusted to me. And “above all,” give me Your grace to do all in love. For love is at the heart of who You are (1 John 4:16). And love is to be at the heart of who I am (1 John 4:17).
So when I’m speaking, give me the grace to not only speak the truth, but to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). When I’m serving, give me the grace to not only serve joyfully and generously and faithfully, but to serve with Your heart of love (Galatians 5:13).
For “love covers a multitude of sins” and love has a way of redeeming hard and hopeless situations into something good, where You’re even “glorified in all things through (the mercy and love, the power and grace of) Jesus Christ” flowing through us. That’s part of how You cause things to work together for good (Romans 8:28). That’s part of the purpose and fulfillment of the promise of Your Word, “Christ in (us), the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).
By the power of Your grace and all for Your glory, may I be a good steward to do all in love today. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
