Today’s Topic: In All Things, Love
Are you making the effort to invest well in those around you?
Dr Charles Stanley Devotional September 4, 2022
To get the most out of this devotion, set aside time to read the scriptures referenced throughout.
Relationships are among God’s greatest blessings in life. He made us to need and flourish with one another, and the people He surrounds us with are meant to walk alongside us in both good times and bad. (See Romans 12:15.) But these bonds don’t magically happen—they’re built over time. For that to happen, we must clearly articulate our needs and also willingly listen to the desires of those we care about.
In Mark’s gospel, Jesus calls us to love others as we love ourselves (Mark 12:31), but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have the same wants and needs we do. For instance, perhaps you feel cherished when someone gives you a thoughtful gift. But if someone important to you finds gift giving difficult and avoids it, you might feel unappreciated. Or perhaps a friend feels most loved through deep conversation. If that’s not in your wheelhouse, some work will be required. It may not be easy, but doing the work to love well always leads to blessing.
Think about it
List some things that make you feel loved and valued. In what ways do your relationships with friends and family members add to the sense that you’re appreciated?
Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 26-28
