Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13:10
God is Love. If you want to give someone God then give them your love. God will take over from there.
I have to admit there are some people in my life who are difficult to love. But God asks me to love them anyway. He wants me to show them I care.
What if God put it in someone’s heart to come to me for help and I do not show them love? That would break God’s heart.
If everyone had love in their heart then there would be no dark days.
The joy of knowing God and being His love to others brings light to a dark situation.
Be the light that brightens someone’s dark day today. Show them your love.
God Bless Your Heart,
Gigi

The idea for this blog post came from the April 18 devotional in “God Calling” edited by AJ Russell and published by Barbour Publishing.
April 18 — my brother-in-law Gary’s birthday. Happy Birthday Gary! Oh yeah, and thanks for the SUNshine today!
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? John 14:8-9
Do you see the Father when you look at Jesus?
Our Father is the creator of the universe.
Sometimes we see the loving, caring Jesus but we have a difficult time seeing the Father God who reaches down to touch us through Jesus.
Is it perhaps because our own earthly father did not treat us with unconditional love?
Is it because we felt abandoned by our dad and we believe God will abandon us too?
Is it because we never knew our biological father?
Remember Jesus and the Father are ONE.
Jesus only did what the Father told him to do.
All the unconditional love we see in the caring and nurturing Jesus who went to the cross on our behalf is the Father love of God too.
I pray you will see the Father.
SEE is a theme for me this week. Yesterday in my Bible study we talked about how God sees us for who we really are and loves us. He sees our tears and even stores them for us. He sees our potential.
He sees YOU.
I do too. I see you reaching out and grabbing his hand.
God bless your heart.

The idea for this blog post came from the September 21st devotional in God Calling by AJ Russell.
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13
So many times in Scripture the answer is LOVE. Because true LOVE from God’s heart lasts.
All fame fades eventually. All talk fades away.
The work that is not done with LOVE passes by without a thought.
But God-quality LOVE lasts.
Jesus is—TRUE LOVE
They will know WHO I love by HOW I love.
Unfortunately we don’t always get this right. Even in the church.
Some of the work we do isn’t even on God’s agenda. We do it to check it off our do-gooder list. But do we do it in TRUE LOVE?
How about a smile in a time of need? God’s LOVE.
How about a kind word to a hurting heart? God’s LOVE.
How about a helping hand to a neighbor in need? God’s LOVE.
How about acknowledging someone’s worth? God’s LOVE.
All acts of LOVE inspired by God’s LOVE are recognized as a welcome mats into eternity.
As we move through the furry and frenzy of this holiday season, I pray there is one goal in mnd.
To LOVE.
Is your welcome mat out?
God Bless your heart with the LOVE of God flowing through you to others.
Gigi
