Greetings! My name is Cathy Shreve, and along with my husband Dale we lead the North by Northwest home group. Our sons are grown with families of their own. This year is bringing changes for me as I’ve recently retired from my full-time work position to a part-time focus on some projects. Dale and I have been part of Riverside from the start, and we remain excited about what God has in store for us as we continue to follow Him.
Continuing today in Ephesians we will read and reflect on Ephesians 5:1-20
Paul calls us to be imitators of God, walking in the way of sacrificial love. Verse 1 makes me think of 1 John 4:9, reminding me that love is an action.
- How is God calling you to move deeper into sacrificial love?
- Reflect on what it means to live as children of the light. Is there an area that you need to shine the light of God on in your life, your family, or your school/workplace?
Spend a few minutes thanking God for his love, and for those who have encouraged you in your journey. Ask God if there is someone who needs you to encourage them today with a call, text or visit.
