This week's devotional classic comes from Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855). It is an excerpt from The Prayers of Kierkegaard. I was not very faithful in the Devotional Classics this week, but I still wanted to get a short passage in, and I think this speaks well of what this Love Cedar Valley day was focused on....Loving God, loving others. All because God has loved us first.
"Father in Heaven! You have loved us first, help us never to forget that You are love so that this sure conviction might triumph in our hearts over the seduction of the world, over the inquietude of the soul, over the anxiety for the future, over the fright of the past, over the distress of the moment. But grant also that this conviction might discipline our soul so that our heart might remain faithful and sincere in the love which we bear to all those whom You have commanded us to love as we love ourselves."
