Everyone's talking about Love in Green Bay. Yes, Jordan Love is doing some amazing things on the football field. But that's not "love." That's skill.
These days, 'love' is found on the Packers sideline before the game.
That beautiful young lady, left of center, is Simone Biles. Perhaps you recognize her from the Olympics. She's won seven gold medals, doncha know!
Before each game Simone can be seen smooching one of the Packers players - Jonathan Owens - her husband. Their love for each other makes us all smile.
Love should take precedent over ALL things. It is "the first and greatest commandment" according to Jesus (Matthew 22:38). Love for God and love for each other.
What does love look like in today's selfie, social media world? It's not bashing others or gossiping about someone. It's not protesting a government for doing something to defend itself.
Love is supporting and encouraging without thought of self or personal gain. It's sacrificial. Love is what we need more of. Let's pray for that.
Thank you, Lord, for the examples of love in our lives. These people encourage us to love unconditionally, without motive. Something this world desperately needs today.
Thank you for Your sacrificial love for us which You demonstrated by sending Your Son to sacrifice Himself for us. An incredible act of selfless love.
We thank You and praise You for this most-incredible of gifts. It is in the merciful name of Jesus that we pray.
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another." - John 13:34
