A new issue sat on the merry-go-round of my mind as one of my first waking thoughts this morning.

Around and around and around and around.

Are we having fun yet? You would think so, the way I allowed that issue to have its ride.

Unfortunately, it bordered on nursing an insult, on feeding a hurt.

Sigh

Then I read this:

“And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you” (1 Thessalonians 3:12).

Uh oh

That’s what I need, alright.

I need the Lord to cause my love for others to flourish.

I need the Lord to turn me into a sample of His love — “even as we do toward you.”
