LET ALL THAT YOU DO, BE DONE IN LOVE.

Talk about a powerful filter! A high standard! How might our decisions change if we accept the encouragement in scripture (I Cor 16:14 ESV) to do ALL in love? We know love is a powerful force of healing, renewal, encouragement and transformation. As we enter the valentine season this year, may we enjoy the lighthearted and romantic fun while also setting a high standard of applying the “am I doing this in love?” test to our everyday decisions and interactions. -
