Sermon 12/21/25: Love- Tuesday's Devotional

Love Without Recognition
Reading: John 1:9-13

The world didn't recognize Him. His own people didn't receive Him. This is the heartbreak of Christmas—love rejected by the beloved. Yet God's love doesn't depend on our reception of it. He came knowing the cross awaited, knowing many would turn away. This is the nature of true love: it gives without guarantee of return. Today, reflect on the times you've overlooked God's presence in your life. Where have you failed to recognize His light? The beautiful truth is this: even when we don't recognize Him, He never stops pursuing us. His love is steady, unwavering, and relentless.  Receive Him, and the love He offers.
