Embrace Those Around You – your Lion Bites word for today

It is a time of increase! Light and glory are upon you. Yes, the nations are being drawn to your light, but they will stop in their tracks to consider the extraordinary, tangible, unexplainable love. This mystery will grip their hearts because they have been lonely and isolated, and disconnected from others, even their closest family.

It is time to add the visible and undeniable expressions of love to validate your witness, that you belong to Me and that I am truly in you. You see, it is how the world will know that you belong to Me. It is the true mark that shows you belong to me and follow me.

It is a time of fruitfulness! You are bursting forth with the fruit of love because we have been together, close, intimate, and growing in adoration and devotion. You have clung to me while the world has been tossed into chaos and uncertainty. You have been kept safe under my shadow and made secure in my love. And now there is fresh, new fruit on your branches.

It is time to embrace those around you – extend your arms out toward them to love them, be generous, kind, and selfless with them. These are your family because they are also in me and I in them. Yes, my arms are big enough to encompass all of you! Of course, they are! And my love has no end. Now, let that fruit continue to mature even as you choose to take these steps of obedience and maturity. Love one another as I have loved you.

John 13:35 TPT
For when you demonstrate the same love I have for you by loving one another, everyone will know that you’re my true followers.

Isaiah 60:1-3 NKJV
Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.
