Day 23: Love God, Love Others

Devotion:
Loving God is the starting point for loving others. When your heart is aligned with His, the love you receive from Him becomes the fuel for how you treat the people around you. It’s not something you have to force—it flows naturally when your connection with Him is your foundation.

When you prioritize loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind, something incredible happens: His love fills the spaces in your life and begins to spill over into your interactions. Whether it’s through patience, kindness, forgiveness, or encouragement, His love shapes how you respond to the world.

Today, take time to strengthen your connection with Him. Spend a moment in prayer or worship, letting His love renew and fill you. Then, look for opportunities to show that love to others—whether it’s through a thoughtful gesture, a kind word, or simply being present. Love isn’t always about grand actions; it’s often found in the small, intentional ways you reflect God’s heart to those around you.

Prayer:
Lord, help me to love You with everything I have. Let Your love overflow in my life so I can love others the way You do. Amen.

Journal Prompt:

Practical Application:
