Key Scripture: John 13:34–35 (NIV)
“Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
Devotional
Jesus sets a clear standard for how we relate to others—not by convenience or compatibility, but by His example of love. Loving as Christ loves means choosing compassion, patience, and grace even when it costs us something.
This kind of love goes beyond words. It shows up in how we listen, how we respond under pressure, and how we treat people who think, live, or believe differently than we do.
Christlike love does not mean ignoring truth; it means carrying truth with humility and care. When love leads, relationships are strengthened and hearts are softened.
Today, ask God to help you love intentionally and reflect His heart to those around you.
