This was [John the Baptist’s] message: “After me comes the one more powerful than I.”
-Mark 1:7
This devotional lesson ends with a prayer, “Father…Give me your strength so that I might love your world.”
Love is a humbling thing. It will put you on your knees to fix your girlfriend’s toilet or get you out of bed to help a friend in the night.
It takes strength to love. That strength can manifest as vulnerability or an attentive ear. It could call for being supportive or critical. Love requires you to find strength that you did not know you had.
I pray for God’s strength to love as Jesus loved.
