"We all long to belong.
We are created to know love and give love.
Our need to love, though rooted in God, is not limited to him.
Love is not a limited commodity.
Love expands as we give it away.
Love dies when we do not."
-erwin mcManus soul cravings

Read 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17


I really connected with this passage because the process that begins with God's love and ends with good deeds and good words is significant. We are empowered by His love. It is because of God's love for us that He offers the gifts of eternal comfort and hope. We can easily relate to loving someone so much that we want to give them gifts. The gifts that God gives stir our hearts for good work and word. Our actions and speech should reflect the comfort and hope we have been given. God's love should be seen in what we do AND what we say.

Embrace life with enthusiasm. Allow your spoken words and deeds to demonstrate the love God has poured out on us.
