Giving Thanks - Day 8 - for God's Love

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.
Psalm 107:1 NLT

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 NKJV

God's LOVE. It’s patient. It’s kind. It’s forgiving. It’s altruistic. It protects. It gives generously. It is the greatest of all. It is LOVE. Love that lights up the darkness, gives hope to the hopeless. Love that changes lives and saves souls. God IS love. 
    
Thank God today for His enduring, undying love for you. Thank God for loving you so much that He sent His Son to die in your stead. Pray He would help you love as He loves, even those who are hardest to love.

Prayer: (from Crosswalk)

Father,
     You are Love, and we love because You first loved us (1 John 4:19). Fill our hearts with Your love so that we may give it freely, without fear or hesitation. Teach us to love as You love — patiently, kindly, without envy, pride, or self‑seeking, and to be always forgiving (1 Corinthians 13:4‑5).
     When others are hard to love, give us the grace to choose kindness and compassion, even when we feel tempted to judge or resent. Remind us of Your great love in John 3:16 - You loved us so much that You gave Your one and only Son to pay for our sins and salvation. Help us to reflect that same love in our words, actions, and attitudes.
     Lord, we thank You that love is from You, and "whoever loves has been born of God and knows God” (1 John 4:7‑8). Let our lives be a witness to Your love, so others may see Christ in us through the way we love. Grant us the Spirit’s power to daily live out this love, and to grow in compassion, patience, and mercy. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
