Love Over Law

Today’s Reflection

Love eclipsed the law. God’s acceptance wasn’t the goal — it was the starting point! Knowing God’s love made manifest in Jesus Christ became the primary motivating force of Paul’s life, as it is intended to be for all of us.

—Rob Fuquay,  Which Way, Lord? Exploring Your Life’s Purpose in the Journeys of Paul (Upper Room Books, 2017)

Today’s Question

How might love become the primary motivating force in your life?

Prayer for the Week

God, you are the way, the truth, and the life. Show me the path you are calling me to go down and give me the strength to follow you, wherever you may lead. Amen.
