A Daily Devotional About increasing and overflowing love… 1 Thessalonians 3:12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. (NIV) Too much of the time, our life is about us rather than about God or others. When we live a self-centered life, bad things surely happen to us in the here and now. When we live our life for ourselves rather than for God or for others, there is no way love for God or love for others can increase and overflow within us. In selfishness, many of us want our good work to cover over our sins. Too many times, we may want to be able to sin and get away with sinning by being good and righteous part of the time. Under the power and eyes of God, He wants us to be totally righteous and totally devout all the time, not part of the time. No amount of good work can save us from our sin. The only way we can be saved from our sin is by repenting of our sin and carrying our repentance to Christ. We are saved by His blood, not by our good works and deeds. Praise God for He loves us so much. |
