Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(24th April, 2024)*

by Sunday Akanni

TOPIC: When All Is Said And Done
‭‭
‭II John 1:6‬

This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

*Message*

We were created in the very same image and likeness of God, and it's our destiny to always pursue becoming like God. Take note of the fact that the very essence and nature of the LORD is love. Hence, the most visible way of becoming like Him is by loving others. Like I enjoy saying, in spite of the fact that God is all-powerful (amongst other supernatural abilities), He is more comfortable with love, and He loves being approached as a Love Being.

*Touching the matter of love, Paul made some powerful remarks: "And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing." (I Corinthians 13:3).*

Always remember that love cannot be learned in isolation, but you grow in love as you practice love intentionally with people around you - the nasty folks, the imperfect and annoying ones, etc. Whilst you have the liberty to decide the things you want your life to revolve around, Jesus summarised what matters most this way: "Love God and love people". The point of life is learning to love God and people.

*Always give priority to the things that help you grow in love with the Lord, and always give yourself to enhancing good relationships with people beyond things. Relationships, not things, are what really matters in life. When all is said and done, you will discover that relationships are what life is all about.*


*Prayers*
Dear LORD, help me give myself to loving You and others.

‭‭I Corinthians 13:13‬
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
