Power Up Challenge: Day 5

Joining God in Loving Others

Welcome to the final day of the Power Up Challenge! How do we partner with God in loving others? Something we heard someone say recently is that they like to start their day by asking God, "What are we doing today?" I really like that phrasing, because it feels less like a solo mission, and more like a partnership with God. Something we're doing together.

• Song: "Love's Got a Way" by Andrew Ripp.
• Scripture: 1 John 4:10-11 “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
• Next Steps: Because love is such a BIG idea, here are 10 practical ways that partnership might work itself out in our everyday life.
  
  1. Listening without interrupting.
  2. Speaking without accusing.
  3. Giving without sparing.
  4. Praying without ceasing.
  5. Answering without arguing.
  6. Sharing without pretending.
  7. Enjoying without complaining.
  8. Trusting without wavering.
  9. Forgiving without punishing.
  10. Promising without forgetting.
