Love or Nothing

Today’s Reflection

Who has been perfectly loved by those who raised us? Our disappointments in how we were loved, and the wounds we bear as a result, invite our trust in the deeper love of God in whom we have our being.

—Susan Carol Scott,  Still Praying After All These Years: Meditations for Later Life (Upper Room Books, 2019)

Today’s Question

Instead of centering those who have failed you, how can you live in a way that centers God’s love in your life? Join the conversation.

Today’s Scripture

If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.—1 Corinthians 13:1-2 (NRSV)

Prayer for the Week

Sustainer of all that is, give me faith that hopes in what I cannot see. Thank you for the small miracles that find me each day. Amen.Submit your prayer to The Upper Room.
