Join me for a daily devotional. Let’s kick off the week with a powerful and encouraging word and message from scripture.
Barbara: Happy Monday. I am going to be reading today from the always faithful prayer devotional. This devotional is set up where the first part that I read is what I could imagine God speaking to us. And then I have a verse today for you.
The topic for this week is you are dearly loved. How do you express love to those you love the most? How has God expressed his love for for you? There is nothing that you or anybody else can do to separate you from the love of God.
I am live. Oh, it's a. It was a new little format getting in here, so I am a minute or two late, but here I am. Happy Monday. I am going to be reading today from the always faithful prayer devotional. And I decided beforehand which topics I was going to share with you guys. And then I open it last night just to kind of preview it and get it on my mind and I realize, oh my gosh, I'm doing a podcast on this very topic. So it's always funny how things connect and they just seem like they're meant to be.
So we're going to go ahead and read and if you're new, my name is Barbara and I'm part of the Cadre team. This devotional is set up where the first part that I read is what I could imagine God speaking to us. Then it is my words. And then I have a verse today for you. Well, there's always a verse that is. That comes with the devotional, but this one's a little extra long, so. But it's a good one. It's a really good one. So here we go. The topic for this week is you are dearly loved. You really are.
Greater than the universe and deeper than any ocean. My love for you has no end more precious than the rarest gem. You are the treasure of my heart, though your mind cannot grasp it. I adore and cherish every fiber of your being. There is nothing that you can do that will ever cause me to love you less. My love for you is permanently indestructible. It's hard to imagine that God can love us as much as he says he does. The truth is, we can never fully understand the depth or extent of it. Even if you think of those you love the most and multiply it by I put a thousand, but a million.
You won't even come close. No matter how far you've strayed or what you've done to disappoint him, God loves you through it all, and his love endures forever. May your spirit be filled by the truth and power of his undying love for you. And I love that. I love being reminded of that because there is just nothing that you or I can do that will separate us from the love of God. It's impossible. Here is a verse that goes with this. It's from Ephesians 317 19. It's a little long, but open your mind, open your heart and just receive this so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established, in love may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses all knowledge will never be able to understand it, that you may be filled to the measure of all fullness of God. And again, that is from ephesians 317 through 19. So a couple of questions for you to consider or think about. How do you express love to those you love the most, and even to everyday people that you don't know yet, but you see them, maybe you have some kind of interactions with them, either virtually or in person.
How are you expressing your love daily? How has God expressed his love for for you? And I promise you, if you were to just start to write these things out how God has expressed his love to you, your list would be very, very long. It would be unending. So I will leave you with that reminder that you are dearly loved and there is nothing that you or anybody else can do to separate you from the love of God. I hope you have an amazing, beautiful, blessed week and I will see you again next time. Take care.
Bye.
