Our love can flow from the Source—the One who is love personified—when we focus on him

Dedicate yourself to make Him your focus. Let all your other loves flow out of that.

~~Anne Ortlund

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

What is inside us will eventually come out. If we focus on fear, then fearful thoughts and controlling actions will result. If we focus on worry, it will show on our face and in our shortened fuses. If we focus on bitterness, we will dry up inside and the joy of life will dissipate.

If we focus on Christ, however, we look at the One who came to give us the fruit of his Spirit. We focus on the One who loves us with an everlasting love, who came to give us life to the full, who offers us peace and joy. And what is inside will indeed come out. We will treat others as we would want to be treated. We will be able to love even the unlovely.

Our love can flow from the Source—the One who is love personified—when we focus on him.
