October 16 Devotion - A Holy Kiss of Love

Greet one another with a kiss of love (a holy kiss). Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

 سلموا بعضكم على بعض بقبلة المحبة.سلام لكم جميعكم الذين في المسيح يسوع.آمين

1 Peter 5:14

When we believers (those of us who have accepted Jesus as Saviour and made Him Lord of our lives) meet, we are encouraged to greet one another with a kiss that is sincere and expressive of true affection and love. Love for each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. An Agape love that is connected to Christ. When two (or more) believers meet, their love for Christ connects them and flows to them, and as Christ loves them both (all), they share a love for each other. This becomes true to us as we grow in our relationship with our Lord and Saviour; Jesus Christ; and we become Christ-like.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can grow in my relationship with Jesus and help me Lord to become Christ-like so that I can love others as You love me. Let Your love for others run through me to them through the Holy Spirit. God I praise You, revere You, worship You, trust You, stand in awe of You, lift You up on high, and I glorify Your Holy Name. Thank You Father God for loving me with a deep and everlasting love, thank You for Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace upon my life. LORD, I pray to You in the name of Your precious Son; my Redeemer and Saviour; the Lord of my life, Jesus Christ. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion before all time and now and forever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
