Loving God

Today in TLC, we talked about loving God. We sat in our usual circle and discussed what love is. After discussing for a few minutes, we came to the conclusion that  "we love because he first loved us." (1 John 4:19) So then, what is God's love and how did he show it to us? While we were his enemies, he dies for us on the cross. Isn't that amazing? Jesus dying on the cross isn't something that just happened 2000 years ago. He is alive and pours his love over us each day. We just have to recognize what he does for us. So, most of us shared how God has shown us his love and answered our prayers. Think about all that God has done for you - all the little and big things and give him thanks! We have received so much from God. His love, grace, mercy, peace, answered prayers, etc. Let's love him back by obeying him and giving him our whole heart. We challenged you guys to love God this week, but we did not get to really discuss how to do that. However, we can love God by obeying him, spending time with him (quiet time & prayer), loving others, or whatever you can come up with. (:

Go love him with your whole heart & be blessed while you take your midterms!


Don't forget - we'll see you at the flag pole at 7:30 on Jan 24th!
