Encounter God's Heart…

Shaped by Loyal Love

When the trials of life shake us, we can take the courage offered to us through Proverbs 3:3 and “hold on to loyal love and [not] let go.” The forever-faithful love of God will never let go of us, but we can lean in and hold on with all our strength. We should strive to root and ground ourselves in the mercy-presence of God every chance we get, turning our attention to the nearness and faithfulness of our God.

As we choose to live with integrity, letting our lives match up with the values of our hearts, shaped by Christ’s kingdom, every movement of mercy reflects the power of God at work within us. If we keep holding on to the wonderful nature of God, following in his footsteps, we will not stray to the right or to the left. Let’s keep first things first and fix our eyes on the one who never leaves or forsakes us. As we behold him, we will become more like him.

Loyal God, no one is more trustworthy than you. I hold on to you with all my soul, strength, and attention. Transform me in your life-changing mercy.

From Wisdom from Above written by Brian Simmons

Proverbs 3:3

The Passion Translation

Hold on to loyal love and don't let go, and be faithful to all that you've been taught. Let your life be shaped by integrity, with truth written upon your heart.
