BENJI Good morning! I’m Benji Riddle – Youth Director at Central United Methodist. Remember that love is a verb. Love moves us to act. Love is a decision, a responsibility, it is something to be lived. Love, in and of itself, is a truly powerful force. So, whoever or whatever you love, do it and mean it, not because you have to. Stephen and Alex Kendrick, in their book “The Love Dare” wrote: Love motivated by mere duty cannot hold out for very long. Go out of your way to do something for someone else, without getting credit, without procrastination, but because you care, and do so expecting nothing in return. That is how God loves, for God IS love. He loved this world so much that he left heaven to die for us to set us free from the chains of sin, despite us being so unloving. So, go into this day knowing that there is nothing you can do to make God love you less.
