The Odor of Love

God Speaks To Us:

Acts 1:8 Jesus said: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

We Reflect On His Words:

· Who is the Holy Spirit?

· How did the Spirit come in your life?

· How do you witness Jesus?

We Live Out Our Yes:

Lord, may I always be a witness of you in the world by loving as you loved - unconditionally.

Charles Jones was a famous Hollywood cartoonist. His favorite character was not Bugs Bunny, but Pepe LePew, the romantic skunk. Pepe was forever falling in love with someone. but his love was always rejected because of he way he smelled. But that did not stop Pepe. He kept right on loving. No amount of rejection stopped him. That's what made you, eventually, love Pepe. He never gave up on love or people. Jones may not have intended it, but Pepe is a beautiful image of Jesus. He never gave up on love or people either--no matter how many times he was rejected.

Jesus never gives up on you. No matter how much we ignore him or even reject him his love for us is every bit as strong as the Father’s love is for him. Our obligation is to show that love to everyone we meet.
