"Love is as strong as death ... It burns like a blazing fire, like a
mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown
it" (Song of Solomon 7:6-7). We thank You, Lord, that Your love is the
greatest love of all: "Nothing can separate us from the love of God in
Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39). We can never earn Your love:
"If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, it would be
utterly scorned" (Song of Solomon 8:7). Your love is always Your gift to
us. May Your love burn, in our hearts, "like a blazing fire, like a
mighty flame" - a fire that burns up our dross, a refining fire that
purifies us, a flame that burns for Your glory.

Lord, may there be less trying to get our own way - and more walking in Your way.
Indeed, it is! The love that sent Him to the cross. May He help us to reciprocate that love in Jesus' name.
