PRACTICE THE PRAISE OF LOVE

The 5th Day of Love

Memory Verse—1 John 4:20. Those who say, “I love God,” and hate their brothers or sisters

The Prayer—Lord Jesus, help me to be so possessed by the love of the Father, until it will be natural to love my brother and sister.

The Affirmation—Today I want to know how to love all my brothers and sisters.

The Scripture Lesson—Psalm 138:1-2, Psalm 139:14, Psalm 139:23-24

The Meditation

Praise the Lord for His Love.

Praise the love in others.

If,

we would practice more

the praise of love,

And pursue less the love of praise,

Then:

God would be more pleased,

and the world would not be so diseased

With a sin called hate.

Because:

What this world needs

Is not more “greeds”

for greedy—

But more deeds

for the needy.

When you take off your pride

And sit down beside

A poor sinner that died,

Think on your ways;

You might have lengthened his or her days

If you had given him or her more praise.
