We all are Jesus' family

God is nothing but love.

Dare to give all for love.

Give of yourself without fear.

Is there a conflict in my life between the demands of my family, my job, my activities, and the demands of God?

Who are my mother and my brothers? - Mark 3:33

Dearest Mary and Joseph, as the earthly mother and father you called Jesus son. Help us to gain the love and faith you so perfectly possess. Mary and Joseph would you ask the Lord, for me, let me know love so I may clear the conflicts in my life.

Beloved, let us love one another,

because love is of God;

everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

Whoever does not love does not know God,

for God is love.

God's love was revealed among us in this way:

God sent his only Son into the world

so that we might live through him.

In this is love:

not that we loved God, but that he loved us

and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our
sins. - 1 Jn 4:7-10

How might God's love be revealed through me and those I meet? Love can be expressed in many ways. Love is made real in what we say and in what we do and in how we treat other people.

In times when I am feeling weary and restless or even distent from God, when I don't feel love. I must remember it is God's saving action, not my action, that really counts.

How might I respond to the God of love, now?
