Becoming Love in Times of Suffering

March 22, 2020 - St. Paul instructs the Church in his letter to the Ephesians and Chapter 5 "Be imitators of God as dear children, and walk in love." We are the dearly beloved children of God. We are the ones who have experience the immeasurable and inexhaustible love of God in our lives. St. Paul is telling us to mimic the nature of the God Who is love and offer that which we have received to others. In this time of pandemic as we now must spend so much time in our homes, we are reminded that we must cultivate a relationship of love with our Heavenly Father through prayer that we might be transformed and become love. So many in this world right now are suffering physically, struggling emotionally, and oppressed with financial fears. If ever there ever was a time that the love of God must be manifest through His people as an offering to this world, that time is upon us.
