As I sat in church last Sunday, listening to the preacher, he reminded me how important it is to live a life of love. Instantly, I thought of my life verse, “to live a life of love.” This morning, as I read my Jesus Calling devotion, it referenced Ephesians 5, again encouraging us to live a life of love. Ephesians 5:1-2 reads, “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love; just as Christ loved […]

As I sat in church last Sunday, listening to the preacher, he reminded me how important it is to live a life of love. Instantly, I thought of my life verse, “to live a life of love.” This morning, as I sat, reading my Jesus Calling devotion, it took me to Ephesians 5, which again encourages us on how we are to live.

Current circumstances leave little room for love, peace or even joy. Maybe we don’t feel like loving or like being loved. But God’s Word tells us how to get there and why we should. Ephesians 5:1-2 reads, “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love; […]

They have left us with great examples of what it means to be a good, good father. That’s why I knew it was a good time to repost this blog my husband wrote a few years back.
