Living without Offense - July 16

Loving others is one of the most important and difficult commands Jesus gave us. We are a messy, needy, and broken people. We constantly have to deal with our own wounds and the wounds of others. But if we can learn to love others well, rich, life-giving relationship will be our reward. May you receive the love of your Father given you by his grace, and be empowered to love others this week as we look to grow in our obedience of Jesus’ command to love others. Our Scripture for today comes from Proverbs 19:11 , and today's worship is Open Space by Housefires featuring Kirby Kaple. First15 is a daily devotional written and recorded by Craig Denison.
