Monday, May 12, 2025 — The Love That Lingers
Weekly Theme — Embracing Love’s Power
Even when the flowers fade,
love lingers in the cracks of memory,
whispering, I’m still here.
Words of Light
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!”
— Isaiah 49:15 (NIV)
Reflection
Love does not leave just because time has passed.
Even when the holidays fade and the cards are put away, the love that shaped us lingers in the spaces where memory meets breath.
For some, this lingering brings warmth; for others, it stings. Yet God’s promise is this: even when human love feels distant or absent, His love endures.
You are still held. Still remembered. Still loved.
• Where do you still feel the presence of a love that shaped you?
• How can you allow that love to comfort you today?
Affirmation
I am wrapped in a love that never leaves.
Peace,
Rita
