As we continue to look at what life together as Christians looks like, we lean into the posture of our hearts. What we say, how we say it, and what is behind our actions can be just as important as what we say and do. Jesus describes it by saying the words of our mouth is the overflow of our hearts. What is overflowing from your heart?
Who doesn’t want to root for love? All those rom-coms, romance books, and epic tales are so gripping because love is powerful. But as those same stories remind us, human love, while powerful, is imperfect. Human love is a reflection of a greater love that was first extended to us by God. A love that is not conditional, a love that’s depth and width and reach is far more than we can imagine.
Scripture starts by setting the tone about God, this world, and us. Foundationally we start with the idea that God made humanity in his image. As we struggle with tough conversations in a polarized world, how could it change our conversations if we keep it front of mind that each person you meet is made in God’s image?
