LOVE CHALLENGE

GOD IS LOVE. – 1 John 4:8

God’s love is… I – Intentional God loved you enough to send His one and only son, Jesus to save you. Jesus loved you enough to die for you on the cross (John 3:16). S – Spontaneous God’s love shows up when you don’t deserve it and least expect it.

This month practice these 3 love habits: #1. Intentional Love – Look up to God every day at 3PM and thank Him for loving you. Jesus died on the cross at 3PM, so it’s a perfect time to remember and reflect on God’s great love. #2. Intentional Love – Pick one person to intentionally love this month. Express your love by sharing your time, energy, efforts, resources, and acts of kindness. #3. Spontaneous Love – Be on the lookout for ways you can love others wherever you go. When you do, you’re shining God’s love and light in this dark world.

Please share your love challenge with me and The 3 O’Clock Wake Up Call community by tagging us on Instagram or Facebook – #3pmthanks or #3pmwakeupcall.

Thank you so much!

Love, Laura
