Increasing and Overflowing Love

 

[Photo of a Scripture verse]


“May the Lord make your love increase
and overflow for each other and for
everyone else, just as ours does for you.”
—1 Thessalonians 3:12

Can a person ever have too much love? I really don’t think so. Most of us are at least a little bit “love deficient.” Even if we have those in our lives who love us, we still can really use the comfort that comes from every bit of love that flows our way.

In just such a setting, the Apostle Paul wrote the following to the new Christians gathered at Thessalonica, as recorded in 1 Thessalonians 3:12:

May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.

These words of blessing from the Apostle, apply to us today, as well. We are part of the enormous and great family of God. Thus, we are recipients of God’s overflowing love. He has poured His love into us so that we can, in turn, pour His love into others.

As we begin another new day, let’s make this a day when we will endeavor to let God’s love flow through us to touch the minds and hearts of others.
