ASLC Devotions - Friday

Friday, April 1
Ephesians 5:1-2
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
We are all children of God and, like most children, we imitate our parents. In this case we are asked to be imitators of God and I can think of no better role model for a parent.
One thing that keeps coming to mind when I read these passages is a lyric from one of my favorite Beatles songs, “All you need is Love.”  The unlimited love that God shows for us every day. The unconditional love a child shows his parents. The ultimate act of love that Christ showed us by offering up his live as a sacrifice to God for our lives.
So go ahead and be imitators, imitators of God and remember, all you need is love, especially when it comes from our father.
