Good morning!
I hope all of you ladies had a great weekend with family and friends! I enjoyed yesterday especially, doing house-wifery things :) It was rainy and chilly for most of the day after church, so it was a nice cozy day inside with the husband! How about the rest of you? :)
What a great way to start our weeks fresh! Being reminded of how great God's love for us is such a comforting thing that will motivate our hearts in all sorts of ways, namely to prioritize keeping ourselves pure, as he is pure, as John says in verse 3. Our lives are ones of constant reevaluation, of what we're doing, what our true goals are, in what condition our heart is. Satan and the world does so much to chip away at our faith, at our gracious God-given purity, that John once again reminds us to be ready to repent and turn back to the Lord again and again. To take his love for us with gratitude and consider it amazing motivation to love him back with our lives! We're also given the truth that we have a great future to look forward to when we meet him someday! What will that be like, to be renewed into his perfect image wholly, forever in heaven? We don't know...all we know is that it'll be incomprehensibly amazing :)
Joyful, motivating, comforting verses for a Monday! Thank you, God! I'm sure all of us can use the jump-start for another week? :) It's ironic how the weekends are supposed to be for relaxing, but many times they bring more busyness than ever. I pray you are all brought what you need from our Lord today through his Word. Sing in your heart with joy to the Lord - he is good! :)
Love to you all,
Cait
