And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
— Romans 5:5 NLT

Key Thought

It's hard to believe that there is an endless supply of anything! But the promise of this passage, even in its context of suffering and difficulty, is that we have an endless supply of love as the Holy Spirit fills our hearts with love. This love is as big as God and is supplied by the Holy Spirit's living inside us as followers of Jesus. We can receive and be blessed by God's love, and we have the power to love others out of God's deep reservoir of love.

Today's Prayer

O gracious Father, thank you for this promise to fill our hearts with your love! Thank you for your powerful grace that is given to me through your Spirit and enables me both to receive your love and to love others as Jesus did. May my life reflect this powerful gift in both good times and hard times. In Jesus' name, I thank you. Amen.
