Hello my friend, welcome back to Walking Together. I'm so glad you've joined me today. Before we begin, take one slow breath. As you breathe, remember the love God has already poured into your life. Have you ever lit a candle in a dark room? The remarkable thing is the flame loses nothing by lighting another candle. The room simply becomes brighter. I've often thought that's a beautiful picture of God's love. It was never meant to stop with us. It was always meant to spread. Listen to these words from John's first letter. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. Notice where John begins, not with a command, but with God's love. Since God so loved us, everything starts there. We don't love in order to earn God's love. We love because we have already received it. God's love always moves first. Our love becomes the response, like water flowing from a spring, the love we've received naturally overflows into the lives of others. As we've been walking together throughout June, we've discovered God's presence, his wisdom, his guidance, his peace, his strength. Now John reminds us that this journey was never only about us. Walking with God always leads us towards people. The closer we walk with Christ, the more his love begins flowing through us, into our families, our friendships, our workplaces, even towards those who are difficult to love. Perhaps today God will place someone in your path, someone who needs encouragement, forgiveness, patience, kindness. Can I gently encourage you? Don't simply ask who deserves my love? Instead ask Lord, who needs to experience your love through me today? Because the love of Christ was never meant to be stored, it was meant to be shared. Here's today's sentence to carry with you God's love grows strongest when it flows through us to someone else. Let's pray. Father, thank you for loving us first. Help us become people who freely share the love we have received. Give us compassionate hearts, patient words, generous spirits, and open our eyes to opportunities to reflect Jesus today. May your love be seen through our lives, in his precious name, Amen. Thank you for walking with me today. Tomorrow we'll bring this month's journey to a close as we discover what it means to keep in step with the Spirit every day. And if you're one of our daily Bible companion subscribers, stay with me. I'd love us to spend a few more quiet minutes reflecting on why God's love always moves outward rather than inward.
