Today’s Scripture: Romans 5:5 ESV: and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
I rejoice in God and I pray the love and hope that has been poured into me can spill into others yet to know this love.
I trust God to show His love. I have faith that the Holy Spirit will pour into every heart. Can we share what has been poured into us?
Two verses earlier in 5:3 Paul reminds us to rejoice in our sufferings. I do rejoice in my addictions and they are the best things that ever happened to me. It may sound strange but in these sufferings is where I came to know God and experience His love. We are told our sufferings produce endurance that produces character that produces hope.
The hope and love that has been poured into me is what I want to pour into others. God has overflowed my heart.
What will you do today with the love and hope that has been poured into you?
Today’s Prayer: Father God, thank You for Jesus who justified me. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit who poured Your love into me. Forgive me for hoarding Your love. Help me to share with others the love and hope You have poured into my heart. I rejoice in You! Amen
