Lent Season Daily Devotional (Day Eight)

Pastor Latt

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. "(John 15:13).

“He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” (1 John 4:8)


INSPIRATION: In England at The House of Commons, Princes Alice had a young daughter and her daughter had Diphtheria. Doctors told Princess Alice to stay away from her face so as to not breathe her daughter’s breath, because she then would contract the terminal disease and die.One day as the daughter lay dying, she began to choke. As Princess Alice lifted her up to help from the choking and held her in her arms, the little girl looked up, opened her eyes, and said, “mommy kiss me.” Knowing she would die, but loving her daughter more than her fear of death, she kissed her as her daughter exhaled her final breathe. Two months later, Princess Alice also died. …Diphtheria.

QUOTE: “Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing wider, nothing more pleasant, nothing fuller or better in heaven or in earth; for love is born of God, and cannot rest but in God, above all created things.” (Thomas Kempis).


WORD OF GOD: Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs.” (John 22:15).

Happy Valentine's Day!
