Let us love one another, for love is from God

Morning: Psalms 2, 85; Micah 4:1–5; 5:2–4; 1 John 4:7–16
Evening: Psalms 110, 132; John 3:31–36

Love speaks for itself. Something about love tells you it comes from beyond you.  You cannot order up love by telling yourself, “I’m going to love …”; or, even more ridiculous, by telling someone else, “You must love …” Love only becomes real when you recognize and accept the loving and creative power at the heart of all things, whom some call ‘God’, and it is beyond your control. Love is from God. When you find peace with yourself, with God and with all things, love comes unbidden and unforced. May you know this peace. May you know this love.
