But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: — Ephesians 4:15

As Christians, our purpose is to mature and become fully present in the world as Jesus Christ’s united Body of believers. We can only do this tough task if we communicate the truth, which is God’s Spirit-inspired message, in love. How can we teach people about God’s love that sent Jesus if we don’t demonstrate it ourselves?

Prayer

God, you are omnipotent and ready to sacrifice yourself for others. Please assist me in encasing all of my negative thoughts and deeds in your love. Every day, I need the Holy Spirit’s transforming and purifying power to be even more powerful in my life. Please fill me up and increase the reality of the fruit of the Spirit’s activity in my words and deeds. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
