Flourishing in Love and Faith

Written By Lettie Henley

"May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you." — 1 Thessalonians 3:12

The Apostle Paul prays that our love would not only increase but overflow, spilling out to friends, family, neighbors, and even strangers.

Love is the foundation of our faith. When love grows in us, it reflects Christ’s heart, a love that is patient, kind, forgiving, and sacrificial. Love that overflows is contagious; it heals broken relationships, builds unity, and points others to the love of Jesus.

Love is an ongoing journey. It’s cultivated through daily choices; listening more, forgiving quickly, serving sincerely, and speaking words of encouragement. When rooted in God’s Spirit, our love becomes a testament of His goodness and transforms not only our lives but the lives we touch.

Today, ask God to help your love increase and overflow. Pray: “Lord, help me to love more deeply and to express Your love freely, today and every day.” Create opportunities to bless someone, encourage the hurting, or serve without expectation. Your love can make a lasting impact.

Your life is a reflection of His love. When love overflows from your heart, you reflect Christ’s character and draw others into His kingdom. Let your love be a light that shines brightly, pointing everyone you meet to His love and grace.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for the gift of love; the love that overflows when we abide in You. Help me to grow in love each day, to reflect Your heart and to pour out Your mercy and grace to everyone around me. Use my life as a testimony of Your goodness, so many may encounter the love of Jesus through me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
