For Your Great, Big, Dumb Heart

John 15:9-17

Ask

Think of someone whose love for you made a huge difference. Maybe it was a grandparent or teacher, friend or pastor. What about their love felt transformative?

Do

Write a little Valentine’s note for the person you thought of in the previous question. (Yes, I know it’s a little late for a Valentine’s card.) It can be someone who is no longer with us or someone you have lost touch with. The act of writing the card is as important as the act of sending it. Express to them the way you felt changed by their love. How did it feel to be loved like that?

Pray

Thank you, God, that your love ever reached me, and for that person who first brought it to me through their love beyond limits. I knew even then that this was different. Important. Irreplace-able. God, help me be that difference for someone else. Amen.
