…God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.
Sometimes people say or do things that hurt you, but you have the God-given ability to love these people. One good way to start is by following the well-known golden rule. It isn't easy. In fact, it requires discipline. But God will help you if you really want to do it.
Discipline is your friend—it is the ability God gives you to walk in His ways. Although it is difficult, discipline is temporary discomfort that can lead to permanent or long-term enjoyment.
God comforts us so we can comfort others. Here's the progression: We are hurt… we allow God to heal us… and we are ready to help others. Hurt…heal…help!
It's a process that can literally change your life—and the lives of many others around you.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, please help me to love others, the way You love me, no matter what kind of hurt lies in the past. Help me be disciplined to follow Your ways and bring comfort to others, the way You have comforted me, amen.
