God is love. >He is its origin, example, and architect. I love because he loved me >first. I know how to love because he has demonstrated it. I can love >because he made me to have his likeness. He is the fountain, the >motivation, and the pinnacle of love. I love because he does, first, >last, and always. >MY PRAYER... God of comfort, thank you for comforting me with your >love. Just as a child learns from parents how to do so many things, >I want to learn to love as you do: sacrificially, selflessly, and >submissively, so that others may know that they do not have to earn >your love, only receive it. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. >----------- >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/hjddbdd_wrgdpgdg.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/omxxtuv_wrgdpgdg.html>http://www.zondervan.com >If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. > >* Copyright 2006 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers.
