November 7Love YouWhole World
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 1 John 4:16 My three-year old niece, Jenna, has an expression that never fails to melt my heart. When she loves something (really loves it), be it banana cream pie, jumping on the trampoline, or playing Frisbee, shell proclaim, I love itwhole world! (whole world accompanied with a dramatic sweep of her arms).
Sometimes I wonder, Whens the last time Ive dared to love like that? With nothing held back, completely unafraid?
God is love, John wrote repeatedly (1 John 4:8, 16), perhaps because the truth that Gods lovenot our anger, fear, or shameis the deepest foundation of reality, is hard for us grown-ups to get. The world divides us into camps based on what were most afraid ofand all too often we join in, ignoring or villainizing the voices that challenge our preferred vision of reality.
Yet amid the deception and power struggles (vv. 56), the truth of Gods love remains, a light that shines in the darkness, inviting us to learn the path of humility, trust, and love (1:79; 3:18). For no matter what painful truths the light uncovers, we can know that well still be loved (4:10, 18; Romans 8:1).
When Jenna leans over and whispers to me, I love youwhole world! I whisper back, I love you whole world! And Im grateful for a gentle reminder that every moment Im held in limitless love and grace.

Reflect & Pray
When do you find yourself feeling pressured to believe fear is greater than love? How might your relationships with others change if you believed you dont need to be afraid?
Loving God, thank You for Your love. Help us to trust in and follow Your light and love even when the way gets dark.

Here's one I wrote a few days ago, while waiting for a train to go by:
Train on the rail, slow as a snail
So many cars, stretching so far
I cannot wait! Please raise the gate!
But here I sit, stuck in this...

November 8That Was Awesome!
Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor. Proverbs 12:24
It was the seventh-graders first cross-country meet, but she didnt want to run. Although shed been preparing for the event, she was afraid of doing poorly. Still, she started the race with everyone else. Later, one by one the other runners finished the two-mile course and crossed the finish lineeveryone except the reluctant runner. Finally, her mom, who was watching for her daughter to finish, saw a lone figure in the distance. The mother went to the finish line, preparing to comfort a distraught competitor. Instead, when the young runner saw her mom, she exclaimed, That was awesome!
What can be awesome about finishing last? Finishing!
The girl had tried something difficult and had accomplished it! Scripture honors hard work and diligence, a concept often learned through sports or music or other things that require perseverance and effort.
Proverbs 12:24 says, Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor. And later we read, All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty (14:23). These wise principlesnot promisescan help us serve God well.
Gods plan for us always included work. Even before the fall, Adam was to work [the Garden] and take care of it (Genesis 2:15). And any effort we make should be done with all [our] heart (Colossians 3:23). Lets work in the strength He gives usand leave the results to Him.
By: Dave Branon
Reflect & Pray
What are some areas where I can learn from this teenager to be diligent and persevere? How does doing my best and working hard honor God?
Heavenly Father, whatever it is You have asked me to do todaybig or smallhelp me to do it.
