Week 1, Day 5:
Living From Love, Not For It
“The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
— Romans 5:5 (NKJV)
There is a difference between living for love and living from love. One is exhausting; the other is empowering.
Living for love is like chasing a finish line that keeps moving. You always wonder if you’re doing enough or if you’re good enough. But living from love is a completely different experience. You wake up already accepted. You pray already embraced. You walk into every room knowing the favor of God is with you—not because you earned it, but because you’re His.
The love of God has already been poured into your heart. You are not waiting for it to come—you are learning to recognize that it’s already there.
When you live from love:
• You stop comparing.
• You forgive faster.
• You carry peace, not pressure.
• And your relationships become healthier—because you’re no longer expecting people to fill what only God can.
Reflection:
Where in my life am I still striving for love, rather than living from the love I’ve already received?
Declaration:
“Today, I choose to live from love—not for it. I am already accepted. I am already valued. I am already loved—deeply, fully, and forever.”
