Reflect on the Word

“Ministry and following Jesus don’t always have to be hard,” a pastor said recently. They weren’t suggesting the life lived in Christ is never going to be challenging—that’s foolish thinking.

Instead, they meant that Christ’s love is so massive that, if we allow it, He will overwhelm us with the glory and grandeur of His love. That love will fill our hearts with a joy that can only come from the indwelling Holy Spirit, revealing Himself and His goodness to us in ever-increasing ways.

On this final day of our 21 Days of Prayer + Fasting, let’s consider the driving force of our very existence: the never-ending, overwhelming love of God. May that love define our lives in a new way in the season ahead, wherever the Lord takes us. May it fill every word, every action, every thought—both about ourselves and the world around us. May we live, in every moment, in a constantly growing understanding of the love of God, manifest in the person and work of Jesus.
