Moments for Mums: Make Love Your Legacy – Part 1Sample

What a powerful reminder of the foundational nature of love! This highlights how love becomes a legacy – it never fails. It lives beyond us.

Firstly, we view this as how God loves us – he always protects us, always holds hope for us, always perseveres with us and never fails to love us. Sit with that for a moment and know that no matter what you have done, you are loved like this.

Then we can look at how to love others like this to create that legacy in our own lives. I can seek to protect, trust, hope and persevere in relationships with family and friends. The world around us is so quick to walk away when a relationship isn’t ‘serving’ them anymore, but we are called to a deeper love. (I don’t mean staying in abusive relationships. An abusive relationship is always a misuse of power and against God’s love. Please seek help if you are in this situation.)

Question
What is one thing you can do today to protect, trust in, hope for or persevere in a relationship today?

Prayer
Lord, thank you for how you love us. Show us how to love others with this deep, gritty love today. Amen.
