Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.  Ephesians 6:24

The grace that Paul is wishing to “all who love our Lord Jesus Christ” is an incorruptible, lasting, and sincere love. True Christian love, says McDonald, “is like a flame that may flicker and grow low at times, but is never extinguished.” I love that quote! We are going to go through times in life that are difficult, there is no getting around that. But since we have the Holy Spirit inside we can maintain our joy and peace in the process through His power. Our undying love for Christ can still be central in our life and hearts instead of our problems. We know from Scripture that God will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 3:15), and that His intent is to prosper us, not to harm us (Jeremiah 29:11). Knowing this should give us peace in the midst of chaos, joy in the midst of sadness, and love for God always!

Holy Father, forgive me when my display of my passion for You dims or my communication of his grace to others lags. Rekindle an unquenchable desire to show my love for Jesus in everything I do and say. In his name, I pray. Amen.
