Who makes you smile? Why? (Thinking about great relationships makes us thankful.)

“God is love.” (1 John 4:8 NIV)

If God had DNA, it would be love. He is full of love for us. Life is not always good, people hurt us. This is not a reflection of God. God has complete unconditional, passionate, pursuing, tender, powerful love for us. He made us, He loves us! When we let His love heal the pain that life brings, everything changes. What painful thing do you repeatedly think about?

Replaying painful events or words in our mind is something that we don’t even realize that we do, yet it steals our joy. Our thoughts about hurtful situations can keep us sad. We can choose to give each painful memory or situation to Him. Asking His love to heal our deepest wound is so powerful. Every time we remember, we can give it to Him again, and think about the good in our life.

Life is hard, still God’s love rescues us from every pain.

God, I give You this ____. I don’t want to replay it in my mind anymore. When I am replaying hurtful memories, remind me to think about the great things in my life. May Your love fill my heart, healing the pain. In Jesus name
