It could be an unexpected call or text, a delivery of flowers, an invitation to dinner, or even something as simple as a hug out of the blue. We all enjoy receiving love from the people around us.
I especially enjoy receiving acts of love. To know that someone thought enough of me to go out of their way to show their affection warms my heart so much!
On occasion I try to make a point of doing extra for someone else as well. I think I enjoy giving out the love so much more than receiving it. Plus, you can’t reap what you haven’t sown!
In the same manner, God shows His love for us in so many ‘little’ ways throughout the day. If you start paying attention, you’ll begin to notice His touches of affection for you all around.
Why not give some of that unexpected love back to Him?
You could extend your regularly scheduled time with Him and give Him the treat of a few more minutes of worship. You could create a special song or poem just for His ears to hear. Or, in your time of prayer, you could silence your own voice and just give Him the opportunity to speak to you for a change.
In another vein, you could look for a stranger to shower His love upon. Let the Holy Spirit guide you in showing love to someone in a unique way that’s out of your normal practice. Showing God’s love to someone else is a wonderful way to make God happy. (Matthew 25: 34-40)
Let’s all try to show God some ‘unexpected’ love today! He does so much for us, why not make Him smile too?
Verse of the Day: Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 1 John 4:7
