Day 8: Loving Neighbor: Loving Those Closest

Read Now

Scripture:
The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also. - 1 John 4:21

Reflection Questions:

Who are the people in your family you can love today?
How can you express your love for your extended family today?
How can you express your love for your brothers and sisters in Christ?

Prayer:
God, thank you for those closest to me - family, friends, mentors, children, and other people you have placed in my life. Help me to love them with my full heart, with my words and actions. Amen

Challenge:
To show those closest to you how much you love them!

Over the next 21 days, Aldersgate UMC is invited into an intentional time of prayer for ourselves and our community, You will be receiving a daily email (FaceBook blasts too!) with scripture, questions, prayer, and a daily challenge to use during your personal prayer and devotional time. The prayers used will come from a new resource by Justin LaRosa, a UMC Deacon from Hyde Park UMC in Tampa FL. The resource is called “the Jesus Challenge” - 21 Days of loving God and Neighbor. Some other prayers will be adapted to include specific prayers for our Aldersgate community.
I pray that you engage in these days of prayer as a time to go deeper in your relationship with God and in prayer for the Aldersgate UMC and the community of East Brunswick! I look forward to hearing about your experiences on Pentecost Sunday!!
Blessings Pastor Erica
