Today's Devotional Reading: 1 Sam. 3-5; Ps. 77; 2 Cor. 8

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:21)
TODAY'S WORD
God says you need to love even those people who are difficult or seemingly impossible to love. The mark of true believers is the love they have for each other and for those who are not part of God's family. Did you know there usually is a reason that some people are very difficult to love? More than likely, part of the problem is that they don't have enough love, which means they need your love the most of all! You have your own personality, and it probably meshes better with certain other personalities. But even with the differences between people, you can still love others with the love God has shown to you. You will be amazed how much things will change if you just take that first step of faith and love the unlovely people around you. They are desperate for love and friendship, and you might make all the difference.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
God, give me Your unconditional love for the hard-to-love people in my life. I want to show others what Your love is all about so they will be drawn to Christ. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
We sure love you!
Eric & Rita
