Light Reflection-Titus 3:3-5 God’s Love and Kindness

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from Titus 3, verses 3 through 5.

“At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.”

The love of God is a life-saver and life-changer for those who are receptive. His kindness leads us to make U-turns when we are going the wrong direction or need an attitude adjustment. This will make a difference in the quality of our relationships. In God’s grace, we come home to His peace and forgiveness. In God’s grace, we come home to godly contentment. That is where we learn that His plan for our lives is better than any plan we could have ever charted for ourselves.

This Light Reflection inspires us to respond favorably to the kindness and love of God in the Year to Shine.
