Ep. 185: Love’s Atoning Sacrifice — Devotion
Thursday Mar 16, 2023
Thursday Mar 16, 2023
Devotion on Lent, God's Love, Relationship with God, 1 John 4:10.
This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins (1 John 4:10 NIV).
Last month, the stores were filled with red and pink. … But now it’s March, and where have all the valentines gone? The sugar rush has long since faded, and even some relationships of February may not have lasted longer than the beautiful bouquets. For a holiday that boasts so much about love, it often falls short. Perhaps that is because the type of love we too often focus on is actually not love at all. What, then, is love?

Devotion on Relationship with God, Love, Jeremiah 31:3.
I love you with an everlasting love (Jer. 31:3 NIV).
God loves each of us with an everlasting love that will never end or vanish. Earthly love, as we know, can come and go, but the Lord has given us the gift of His love. In the power of the Holy Spirit, we are always filled to overflowing with this love. It is not for us to keep to ourselves, but to share in all we do and say with those He places in our lives.

Devotion on Lent, Joy in the Journey, Psalm 100:2a.
Serve the LORD with gladness! (Psalm 100:2a)
Have you had a unique opportunity in your life? Whatever opportunities you have enjoyed, today there is an opportunity for each of us. That opportunity or “possibility of doing something” is Lent! Lent is an opportunity. Lent is a favorable juncture of time where we are given the gift of 40 days to prepare for Easter. This opportunity begins on Ash Wednesday. For 40 weekdays, we pause, remember, and contemplate what God has done and continues to do for us. So, what might be your “opportunity” this Lenten season?
