Day 14 Valentine's Devotion: PUT ON LOVE

Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Colossians 3:14


Love is above all else. As we’ve learned from 1 Corinthians 13, love is what ties everything together. What does this mean? You cannot do anything without love. Love must be in your heart to serve others and to have faith and hope. Love is what motivates us and what allows us to forgive.

So everyday, put on love. Put it on when you get up. Put it on when you go throughout your day. Put it on when you lay your head down at night. Put it on so you can love God and others. Pray and ask God to help you love him and others above everything else that you do.


Questions to Ask:

  1. How can you put on love?
  2. How does love tie everything together? Love is truly the greatest gift that the Lord has given.


Love can help us believe in the salvation of Jesus, hope in heaven, trust in all the Lord is going to do, and forgive others so we can move on with our lives and move closer to the Lord. God’s love can make the impossible possible. Spend some time as a family, thanking God for his love, and ask him to show you how to make love the center of your life and your family. May you love him with everything in you!

"I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' Then the righteous will answer Jesus saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?' And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.' " Matthew 25:35-40

[Jesus] came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, ... Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour. A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." ... [But she] said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." John 4:5-10

DAY 36 LENT DEVOTION: SET FREE PART II

April 4, 2023
She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. For she said, "If I touch even his garments, I will be made well." And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, "Who touched my garments?" And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around, and yet you say, 'Who touched me?' " And he looked around to see who had done it. But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease." Mark 5:27-34

DAY 35 LENT DEVOTION: SET FREE I (The Chosen)

Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your disability." And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people. "There are six days in which work ought to be done. Come on those days and be healed and not on the Sabbath day." Then the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger and lead it away to water it? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?" --Luke 13:10-16
