This week's word is what this show is all about – love.
Genuine love requires our whole selves. It calls for a synchronicity between the mind, the body, and the soul. It is more than its definition of an intense feeling, and more than its description as a verb or action. Love, while romanticized as a privilege reserved for those who earn or deserve it, is a free gift from a gracious God that we should aspire to reciprocate and learn to lavish on ourselves and others.
Our prayer for the week is this:
God, thank you for your deep love and affection. Thank you for commanding us to love ourselves like you love us. Thank you for modeling for us what genuine love looks like. Help me to love like you. Help me to know my whole self and to love with my entire being. Allow me to practice that love daily. In Jesus' name. Amen.
And our practice commitment is this:
This week, I will practice loving God with my feelings, emotions, thoughts and actions. I will commit to extending that love to myself and others.
