[S] 1Peter 1:22 (NIV) --
Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.
[O] Before obedience I need to purify my heart because only then will I be able to sincerely love others. Loving with God's love is not just doing good works for others but genuinely care for them from the bottom of my heart. In order to do this, I must first receive God's supply of pure (purified) love for me daily. Genuinely loving others is becoming a conduit of God's love, not fabricating my own "love" for them.
[A] Before I want to care for my family members a father, I must first plug myself into the source of love and purify the channel through which I receive His love from. This is not easy especially when there are so much noise (pollution) around me. I need to seek His wisdom in purifying my surroundings so God's love is channeled directly into my heart.
[P] Dear Father, please pump Your pure love into my heart so I may pass that on to others. In Jesus' name. Amen.
