Max Lucado Devotional 2nd February 2024: Loving As God Loves
READ TODAY’S DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR 2 FEBRUARY 2024 BY MAX LUCADO
TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE: Need more patience? Is generosity an elusive virtue? Having trouble putting up with ungrateful relatives or cranky neighbors? Well God puts up with you when you act the same. Luke 6:35 (NIV) says, “But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.” Can’t we love like this? Not without God’s help we can’t.
Our relationships need more than a social gesture. Some of our friends need a flood of tears. Our children need to be covered in the oil of our love. But if we haven’t received these things ourselves, how can we give them to others? Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us that apart from God, “the heart is deceitful about all things.” We need help from an outside source. A transfusion. Would we love as God loves? Then we start by receiving God’s love.
