Leann and Melissa talk about how feeling God’s love removes the barriers we place between ourselves and others and brings us closer to Him.
Ponder Questions:
What does keeping the first two commandments mean to me?
Am I limiting God and putting Him in a box?
How can I not limit God?
How can I lift and love others?
Do I serve others because I love and trust God?
Do I feel and recognize His love? What are the ways that I do?
How am I feeling God’s love?
What am I learning?
Am I judging others or comparing myself with others?
Am I asking God to help me see others how He sees them?
Can I change from being defensive to loving?
Am I putting my own interpretations on others’ actions?
Am I cutting down or creating connections?
Invitation:
Focus this week on loving God and others and see how that changes your week.
Ask yourself, “How do I feel God’s love?”
