Love Overflowing

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 3: [12] May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.

Observation: I pray the Lord would make my love increase. I never prayed that before. Sometimes it feels as if I’m forcing myself to love others and I feel bad at times when I can’t. If God would increase my love where others can see it and can receive that love, they would be able to see Christ in me.

Application: Starting today I’m going to add to my prayers that God would increase my love for His children. Any time I have difficulty loving someone I’ll stop and pray right then for God to increase my love.

Prayer: My Lord, I ask that you would increase my love for others and give me the heart of your son.
