Keep yourselves in the love of God; look forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus
Christ that leads to eternal life.
On one occasion this teenager overheard his parents talking. They were trying to figure a way to
allow him to sleep longer. But because of the demands of the farm it was necessary to start with
the milking and feeding each day at 4:00 a.m. There were no options. From the conversation and
the tone of their voices it occurred to this young man how special he was to his parents and how
much his father loved him. This inspired him to spring out of bed at his father's first call each day
at that ungodly hour.
God loves us very much. Will that love affect your life and attitude?
(Jude 1:21
NRSV)
There is a story about a young teenager who had to get up at four every morning to help his
father milk and do chores. Life was hard for his family. They struggled to meet the challenges of
a farm that demanded great toil. They sweated to make a living with a mule and a single bottom
plow.
Dear God, help me to allow your love to affect every aspect of my life for your glory. Amen.
