Welcome to the February 2018 Bible reading challenge week 3 summary! Can you believe that we are already three weeks into this month’s True Love Bible reading plan? Last week as I grieved and rejoiced over the homegoing of Billy Graham, the daily Scripture reading on God’s love encouraged me all the more. Why do I post a weekly review? So we can remember and refresh our minds in God’s Word. Ready?
Galatians 5:22-26
Jesus, thank you for the Holy Spirit. Help us listen to his whisper. Change us from the inside out for we need you desperately. May we crucify our own passions and desires to lift up your name alone. Let us keep our step with your Spirit that our walk may honor you. Amen. #truelovejournal#biblereadingplan
1 Peter 4:1-8
Above all. The beginning of a new week has arrived and what could happen in our sphere of influence this week if we prioritized loving each other? Headed off to work that plan today, you too? #truelovejournal #biblereadingplan
I Peter 3:8-12
What a great focus list for today’s interactions! Father, empower us to do exactly this today. #truelovejournal #biblereadingplan
Ephesians 4:10-16
I find myself on repeat with my children and then I hear my husband advise them as well. 👉”Be the mature one.” I think that’s the short form of what Paul was saying to the church at Ephesus. Meditating on our #truelovejournal #biblereadingplan this Wednesday. Make it a great day!
Philippians 2:1-11
Philippians 2:1 “So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy…” then in verse 2, Paul explains the icing on the cake. Be someone’s icing today and it will be a thriving Thursday! 😀#truelovejournal #biblereadingplan
Colossians 3:8-15
What if I purposefully chose to put on love each day the same way I I choose to put on my shoes or put on my makeup? What if it were a daily decision to proactively love people right where they are and right where I am? Pondering on this fab Friday! Make it a great day! #truelovejournal#biblereadingplan
John 14:21-27
It is tempting to be filled with fear when we don’t understand the world we live in today. But God has not left us alone. The Holy Spirit dwells in us and we are not powerless. The power of love exceeds any other force and when we forget that love conquers all, that love provided victory over death, then the Spirit whispers his heart reminders. “Nothing shall separate us from the love of God.” #truelovejournal #biblereadingplan
John 15:9-13
Jesus gave his life for us and then asks us to be like him. Giving up our lives for others. Daring to live so differently than the world tells us. Have a Sunday saturated in truth! #truelovejournal #biblereadingplan

ADDENDUM: WEEK 4
Hey there, Friends! Rather than create another post for the last 3 days of the February 2018 Bible reading challenge, I decided to add those days here. It was a short, but lovely month! Take a peek at the final Scripture readings for February:
John 15:14-21
Whatever you do today, do it in love. Simplifies Monday, doesn’t it? Make it a great day! #truelovejournal #biblereadingplan
1 John 3:1-5
You are loved. You are valued. God gave his very Son for you and you are redeemed! Let’s not lose sight of just how much he loves us today. May we let it flow through us and into everything we do. #truelovejournal #biblereadingplan
1 Cor. 13:1-7
Maybe your love challenge today is a spouse who has distanced themselves. Perhaps it’s a child who continually makes poor choices. Maybe today’s love challenge will be your obnoxious neighbor who is never polite and always pushing their way into everything. I don’t know who your love challenge will be today, but I can guarantee you will experience a challenge. We live in a fallen world that desperately needs Christ’s love. Whose burden will you bear today? Who could receive the gift that you believe in them? Who needs to know that hope exceeding their desperation is available? Who needs to know that you are not going anywhere because Christ did not come down from the cross? Love is action. God, infuse us with your love afresh today that it may pour out on those you place in our paths. #truelovejournal #biblereadingplan
I pray that the February 2018 Bible reading challenge was a blessing in your life!
