Devotion: Love

Send us a text

Is love a fruit, a person, a divine attribute, or God?

"The answer is a resounding YES! Yes, love is at the heart of everything God is and calls us to be. In this episode, we’re diving deep into a four-part look at how love, as a fruit of the Spirit, is the core from which all other fruit gains nourishment. Love is God’s very essence—His character, His presence, His everything summed up in one powerful word.

While it’s impossible to capture the fullness of God’s love in one devotion, we can begin to explore its depths through four unique aspects. We’ll use L.O.V.E. as our guide, each letter revealing more of who God is and why love is the ultimate fruit we’re invited to grow within and give generously to others. So, let’s settle in and discover why love truly is the quintessential fruit of a life rooted in the Spirit."

Pause & reflect:

1. How do you express love in a way that reflects the Spirit of God who has nurtured it within you? 
2. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” Is there someone you know and love who is living in darkness? How can you shine the light of Christ that is in you to help guide them out of darkness and into the glorious light and love of Jesus?
3. Spend time with Emmanuel. Respond to whatever the Light has revealed and offer up a prayer of repentance and thanksgiving.
