Description

Episode Summary:
In today's episode, Tola continues the exploration of Psalm 144:1-2, focusing on God's loving kindness and how He trains us to embody it in our daily lives. Reflecting on her own journey, Tola emphasizes the importance of self-examination in how we show love and kindness to others, mirroring the character of God.

She highlights that while we often think of God's training as preparing us for battles, it also includes learning to love others as God loves us—with tenderness, patience, and compassion. Tola encourages listeners to allow God to teach them how to love genuinely, even after experiencing hurt or challenges in relationships. This training season is a time to align our hearts with God's, showing love with wisdom and discernment.

Key Scriptures:

• Psalm 144:1-2: “Blessed be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle, my loving kindness and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and the one in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.”
• Romans 8:38-39: “Nothing can separate us from the love of God through Christ Jesus.”

Key Points:

1. God’s Training Includes Love: The same way God trains us for battles, He also trains us to show His love and kindness to others.
2. Self-Examination: Reflect on whether you love others the way God loves you.
3. Loving Like God: Ask God to help you love others with genuine care, discernment, and wisdom.
4. Healing Through Love: For those who’ve been hurt by their expressions of love, trust God to teach you a balance of love and wisdom.

Reflection Questions:

• Do I love others with the same tenderness and compassion that God shows me?
• Have I invited God to teach me how to love and be kind in ways that honor Him?

Action Step:
Ask God to train you to love like Him and to guide you in extending kindness and compassion to others, even in challenging circumstances.
