Hello Friends!
February is our anniversary so this Flourish Newsletter is full of love and specials for you! 💗
With Valentine's Day this month, and Love being the first Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), let's explore how we can embrace God's love in our relationships. When kindness and compassion are the foundation of our attitude and actions, we are better able understand the joys and sorrows of others and create spaces where love thrives and wounds are healed. Opportunities to practice kindness and extend love are all around us every day.
Lead With Love
Recently I've begun praying that God would help me lead with love in all I do. Jesus, as the Good Shepherd, leads us with love. (Psalm 23, Isaiah 40:11, John 10:1-18.) He calls us to lead with love in our lives as well. I teach, write and speak a lot, so what that means to me is surrendering my own insecurities and the fear of what others might think, to serve from a place of love. What does "lead with love" look like to you?
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. (Colossians 3:12-14 - NLT)
Just as we clothe our bodies with garments, so we can clothe our minds with the truth of God's Word and allow the Holy Spirit to cultivate these qualities in our hearts and lives.
Prayer: God, help me to lead with love in all I say and do. I confess that I can't live this way without your grace, power and strength empowering me to. Please fill me with your love for all people, and help me to express it in a way that can be received. Thank you. Amen.
February is our Anniversary!
Thank you for the privilege of serving you for 3 years!
