A Devotional on Living in God’s Presence and Sharing His Love
Opening Thought
A friend of mine, Dave, has a way of speaking life with just one sentence. He often says, “I’m going to Godly love on you today.” It’s more than a feel-good phrase, it’s a reminder of how powerful God’s love is when it flows through His people. Every time he says it, I’m reminded that we’re not meant to simply receive God’s love, we’re meant to live in it, carry it, and share it.
Scripture Readings
Romans 5:5 – “God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”
Psalm 139:5 – “You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.”
Acts 1:5 – “John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
Exodus 33:14 – “The Lord replied, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’”
Reflection
When Dave says, “I’m going to Godly love on you today,” he’s not just offering encouragement, he’s inviting you into something deeper. He’s speaking the language of heaven. He’s echoing what God does for us daily.
To be Godly loved on is to be seen, known, and surrounded by a presence that never fades. It’s to be reminded that God is with you, not just in the quiet moments of prayer, but in the loud, messy, ordinary places too.
And here’s the beautiful part, this love doesn’t stop with us. When we receive it, we’re changed. And when we’re changed, we begin to walk differently. We carry peace into chaos, joy into sorrow, and light into darkness.
God goes before you today. His presence wraps around you. And His love isn’t just something to feel, it’s something to live in. Let yourself be baptized in that truth, soaked in it, changed by it.
Application
Start the Day Aware – Before you begin anything else, say aloud, “God, thank You for loving me. Let me walk in that love today.”
Let Love Flow Through You – Look for one person you can Godly love on today, whether through a word, a gesture, a prayer, or a listening ear.
Breathe in His Presence – In moments of stress or pressure, take a pause and remind yourself, “His presence goes before me.”
Reflect in Writing – Journal this thought: What does it mean to be Godly loved on? When have I felt that from others, or from God?
Closing Prayer
Father, thank You for the people in my life who reflect Your heart, people like Dave who speak blessing with boldness. Today, I receive that blessing. I want to be conscious of Your presence with me in every moment. Baptize me again in Your love, that I may walk in it, rest in it, and offer it freely to others. Let every step I take be guided by the knowledge that You go before me. I will enjoy Your love today, and I will let it overflow. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
