January 7 | Know Jesus

“We love, because He first loved us…And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.” 1 John 4.19, 21

Reading: 1 John 4

To know Jesus is to love others.  Jesus told His disciples that they would be known as those who know Him by their love for others. 

Prayer: Lord, I pray that I may love others with a Christ-like love, and that I may show compassion toward all.  Lord change my heart to a heart that loves as you loved.  Change my attitude to look with compassion on my neighbors and others, rather than with irritation.
