Tuesday, May 13, 2025 — Love Is a Soft Power
Weekly Theme: Embracing Love’s Power
Softness is not surrender.
It is the sacred strength
that stays open in a world
that tells you to close.
Words of Light
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.”
— 1 Corinthians 13:4 (NIV)
Reflection
We often confuse power with noise, control, or force. But the greatest power doesn’t always roar—it whispers, it waits, it wraps itself around us like a blanket on a cold night.
Love’s true power is soft power.
It is the gentle voice within you that speaks grace over your fears.
It’s the patience to stay tender when disappointment tries to harden your heart.
This kind of love doesn’t make headlines, but it changes lives.
It holds. It heals. It endures.
• Where have you mistaken softness for weakness?
• How can you honor love’s soft power within you today?
Affirmation
My softness is sacred. My tenderness is strength.
Peace,
Rita
