Walking With God
‘Walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God’. (Ephesians 5:2)
Once we understand the love of God in Christ, our lives are transformed. Instead of walking in the way of the world, following our own desires, we seek to please the Lord. At the very heart of our obedience is love, love for God and love for neighbour. In particular there is the practice of forgiveness, just as we have been forgiven. Furthermore, our forgiveness has been so costly, as Christ loved us, dying on the cross that we may have peace with God. And so, every day we are to walk in the way of love, forgiving others, caring for others, honouring others, whoever they may be.
Question for thought: Does the love of Christ control my life?
Heavenly Father, we give thanks for the many members in Papua New Guinea and pray for those members in the Diocese of Dogura. We pray for their prison ministry and also as they campaign against gender-based violence. May they assure them of your love and care for them with the Lord as their shepherd. May our members in Canberra-Goulburn Diocese continue to trust you as they seek your wisdom in knowing the way forward. Amen.
