A shopper once said to a sales associate, “I want the most beautiful gold heart that you have in your store on the finest gold chain available for my fiancé.”

After considering many different choices, he made his decision, and said, “I’ll take that one.”

“Shall I inscribe her name on it?” asked the sales associate.

“Oh no!” came the instant reply. “If we break up, I would like to use it again.”

How different is God’s love. We hear it in the words of Jesus when He said, “I have loved you with an everlasting love.” How comforting it is to know that God’s love is permanent. How fortunate we are to know that God’s love is guaranteed by His Word. How wonderful it is to know that God’s love is for everyone. And finally, how grateful we are to know that His love makes our salvation through Jesus Christ possible.

Prayer: Help us, Father, to understand how much You love us. May those who read this “Seed” come to know You and accept Your Son as their Savior and love Him because He first loved us and gave Himself for us. Amen.

Scripture for Today: 1 John 4:11-12 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

A minister of a small church in Europe dearly loved his people. He was thought to disappear every Friday evening and ascend into heaven. He would then return to earth the next day.

A skeptic in his community decided to investigate. He observed the pastor reading the Bible, followed by a time of prayer. He then put on the clothing of a peasant and went into the woods. In the woods he would chop down a tree and deliver the wood to the poor. He would then return home and serve as a minister to his congregation.

That is the nature of the love that comes from knowing Him. This type of love that is described in the Bible, first reaches up to God in worship. Then it reaches out to others in service and works for God.

What will you do for others today? Stop and show them God’s love.

Prayer: Father, may this be a special day in our lives when we will worship You in everything we do. May we enjoy reading Your word, talking with You in prayer, and doing for others. May Your love fill our hearts, Your wisdom occupy our minds and Your words flow from our mouths. In Christ’s name. Amen.
