May The Lord 

Make Your Love For One Another 

Grow And Overflow!

Scripture

1 Thessalonians 3

12 And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows.

Observation

What kind of love should we have for one another? We should have love that overflows! When something overflows it gets all over everything that is close by! This is how our love should be for everybody that comes in our path. 

Paul’s blessing to the church in Thessalonica was that their love would grow to the point where it overflows. This is a great prayer for those that come to your mind today. Pray that they would love people and that their love would grow and overflow.

Pastor Bruce used the illustration of the “Good Samaritan” in his message yesterday. It was the Samaritan who had compassion on the Jewish man that was left half dead on the side of the road. His love overflowed the boundaries of prejudice to save the life of someone that he would have normally despised.   

Application

I will pray for the people today that come to my mind and I will pray that their love for people grows and overflows just as my love for them overflows. 


Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray for the people that make up our church. I pray that their love for the people around them would grow and overflow, just as my love for them overflows. Thank You for leadership team. Thank You for our pastor and his family. I pray that their love for one another and for all people would grow and overflow, just as our love for them overflows.
