Love As Thyself
Listen
Welcome to another day with Jesus! I hope you are ready to journey an extra mile towards Jesus today!
Now when the Holy Spirit encounters us, He fills us with the fruits and the gifts of the Spirit and to talk about the fruits of the Spirit, the one and important fruit is love!
Often our spiritual muscles ache when we have to forgive people and love them, but can we take a moment to ponder why is it hard to forgive and love naturally when we have the presence of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us?
The Bible says Jonathan loved David as he loved himself. Jonathan knew David was his competitor and that David was anointed by God to be king and not him! That must be tough to swallow but yet he made a choice to love David as he loved himself.
Sometimes, we fail to love our Davids as well. Those who are hurting our position and honour.
We need to find out and identify all the Davids in our lives and make a choice to love them with our whole heart and lift them up like Jonathan.
If Jonathan could do it without the presence of the Holy Spirit, how much more can we labour in love when we have the Holy Spirit with us now?
The Bible says God has given us the Holy Spirit to fill us with the fruit of love.
May God’s great grace meet you today and help you forgive and love all the Davids in your life.
You are blessed.

Healing and Bandaging
Psalms 147:2-3 (GNB)
“The LORD is restoring Jerusalem; he is bringing back the exiles. He heals the broken-hearted and bandages their wounds.”
Divide the Enemy
Mark 3:24-26 (NKJV)
If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
