What does it truly mean to walk in love? Today's meditation takes us deep into Ephesians 5:2, revealing a profound truth about our spiritual journey: we can perform all the right religious actions and still miss the heart of faith if love isn't guiding us.

"Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us." These words challenge us to examine the quality of love we demonstrate in our daily lives. Christ's love wasn't self-serving, convenient, or based on worthiness—it was sacrificial, relentless, and pure. This presents a radical counterpoint to our culture's conditional approach to relationships.

Walking in love transforms how we see and treat others. It means choosing compassion when criticism would be easier. It means forgiving when resentment feels more justified. It means recognizing someone's inherent value when the world only notices their flaws. As we discover in this episode, love doesn't always feel good, but it's always right—and without it, everything else in our spiritual lives falls flat. Most powerfully, love stands as the evidence that we've truly been with Jesus, that His presence has changed us from the inside out.

Join us as we explore how to love not because people always deserve it, but because God's love has already transformed who we are. Listen now, and let today be a day when your steps reflect the love that rescued you.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.394
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.394 --> 00:00:08.762
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.762 --> 00:00:13.653
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.653 --> 00:00:19.484
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.484 --> 00:00:21.070
Let's get started.

00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:27.446
Today is Day 139, walk in Love.

00:00:27.446 --> 00:00:42.406
From Ephesians, chapter 5, verse 2, from the New Living Translation, it's possible to speak truth, do ministry, serve faithfully and still miss the point if love isn't leading the way.

00:00:42.406 --> 00:00:48.604
Ephesians 5, verse 2, says Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ.

00:00:48.604 --> 00:00:52.469
He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us.

00:00:52.469 --> 00:01:10.415
That's the foundation of a worthy walk Love that looks like Jesus' love Not self-serving, not convenient, not based on whether someone deserves it.

00:01:10.415 --> 00:01:18.846
His love was sacrificial, relentless, pure.

00:01:18.846 --> 00:01:21.500
He didn't love with conditions, he loved with action, and that's the model.

00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:31.284
Walking in love means choosing compassion over criticism.

00:01:31.284 --> 00:01:32.890
It means forgiving even when it's the last thing you want to do.

00:01:32.890 --> 00:01:34.936
It means looking someone in the eyes and seeing their value only when the world sees their mess.

00:01:34.936 --> 00:01:43.784
Love doesn't always feel good, but it's always right, and without it everything else just falls flat, because love is the proof that you've been with Jesus.

00:01:43.784 --> 00:01:45.751
So today.

00:01:45.751 --> 00:01:53.590
Walk in love, not because people always deserve it, but because God's love has already changed you.

00:01:53.590 --> 00:01:59.765
Let's pray, jesus, thank you for loving me first.

00:01:59.765 --> 00:02:05.614
Help me love like you, with grace, patience and sacrifice.

00:02:05.614 --> 00:02:13.468
Let every step I take today reflect the love that rescued me In your name, amen.

00:02:13.468 --> 00:02:22.210
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
