On the hunt

Yesterday I walked out in the back country. This fellow came by looking for dinner. I took several shots before getting one that was clear and sharp. Hawks are hard to photograph since they tend to stay far away from humans, which is a good idea with so many bubbas out there looking to end their lives.

May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. -- 1 Thessalonians 3:12
God is love. God is also the source of love. He pours love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). So how do we make our churches, our families, our small groups, and communities more loving? We pray for God to grow the love in those in groups, let them know that we are praying that prayer for them, then communicate and demonstrate our love to those very same groups.

Father, use me to help be an example of love to those around me. Please pour your love into my heart through your Spirit and then channel that love out of my life to others. Please help the loving spirit in our congregation grow more and more, not just to each other, but also to those around us who are not part of your Kingdom family. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

God bless.

Shalom,
