Read John 3:16-21

Pray: Almighty God, allow me to see the world as you do. Help me to see the whole cosmos as something to approach with love, as you did for me.

Hear:

John 3:16 is a marquee verse for the Christian faith. Tebow put it on his under-eye tape, people hold it up on posters and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it on a semi-truck or two.

It works as a good summation of Jesus’ work here on earth. The love God had for the world was so all-encompassing that his very real presence came and dwelled among us here on earth.

How will we then use this verse? How will it affect our day-to-day? I think it must help us see the world through a lens of love. If we seek to be like Jesus, then we must take the mundane moments of our lives and see them as an encounter with a Divine Love within us and towards others. We must see the world through a lens of love.

Respond

Where will you show love today? How will this day be seen through a lens of Love?

Meditation:

God so loved.
