The Deaf Devo - The Deaf Missions from Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States "Summer (7)" Bible Reading: 1 John 4:7-101 John 4:7 Beloved friends, let us love one another; because love is from God; and everyone who loves has God as his Father and knows God. 8 Those who do not love, do not know God; because God is love. 9 Here is how God showed his love among us: God sent his only Son into the world, so that through him we might have life. 10 Here is what love is: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the kapparah for our sins.

I had lots of free time during the summer when I was young. I had some chores to do every day, but I also had time to do things I enjoyed doing.
One thing I liked to do was visit with Emma. She was an elderly widow who lived across the street from our house. Emma was lonely and stayed home most of the time. Often she would sit alone on her porch.
I liked to sew, so I would take my latest sewing project and sit on the porch with Emma. Sometimes I took her cookies my mother had made. Emma and I shared many hours together talking and sewing. Those times with Emma were very special.
I encourage you to take some time today and think about John's words from our Bible Reading - "Dear friends, we should love each other because love comes from God" (verse 1a). Then find someone that you can share God's love with.[CW]
"True love is God's love for us, not our love for God. He sent his Son as the way to take away our sins."[1 John 4:10]
PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, that You love me. Help me show Your love to someone today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
