1. The Connected Life. After making the all-important decision to become a part of God's kingdom, your next top priority is to demonstrate God's love. It should be demonstrated whether or not you think the beneficiary in question is "deserving” of your love.
2. Reaching out to people is an opportunity
to show the world who God is. How can you assist that colleague who is struggling to meet deadlines & deliverables; your neighbour's children who are home when they should be in school; the church member that you've not seen in a while?
3. Show genuine compassion and care for
others without expecting any favours in
return.

Confession:
I am a child of God - an embodiment of
His love. My love is His light to a world in
darkness.
4. "My little children let us not love in word
or in tongue, but in deed and in truth...
And this is His commandment: that we
should believe on the name of His Son
Jesus Christ and love one another, as He
gave us commandment” - 1 John 3:18, 23
(NKJV) #YETDevotional

1. At its core, the Bible is about relationships- how our Father connects & relates with us & how in turn expects us to relate with each other. Relationships are life & need to be maintained. However, sometimes we use the "too busy" card to avoid keeping up with our connections.
2. Other times, life challenges cause us to
self-focus and expect everyone else to
make the effort to reach out. Some of us
have even become complacent because of
the lockdown, assuming our loved ones
are okay without really interacting with
them.
3. When you don't make an effort to
connect, your relation'ships' will start to
sink or, in some cases, capsize.
You were created with love, by love, to
love and God needs you to be love' to the
people He sends your way.

1. Proof of sonship! When it's career day in schools, kids turn up dressed as footballers, police officers, sailors, scientists, lawyers, astronauts, etc. It is easy to identify the profession they
represent based on their outfit.
2. Similarly, many claim to be God's children. Yet they do not don the 'garments' that stand them out from the rest, one of which is LOVE.
3. 1 Corinthians 13:1-2 (NKJV) puts it aptly - "Though I speak with the tongues
of men and of angels, but have not love, I
have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

1. “Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes
up and it knows it must run faster that the
fastest lion, or it will be killed. Every
morning a lion wakes up, it knows it must
outrun the slowest gazelle or it would
starve to death.
2. It doesn't matter if you are a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up - you better start running." - Thomas Friedman. If you have the mindset of a gazelle, you will always be running from lions. If you feel like a lion, you will always be running after gazelles.
3. Some people have the mindset that people are to be preyed on, while some feel abused, neglected, and abandoned. However, Jesus was never a lion looking
for a gazelle to prey upon.

1. God has a plan for you to be a full
partaker of His love and enjoy it. You were
created for connection and God brings
people into your life to demonstrate His
love towards you. He also uses you to
demonstrate His love towards other
people.
2. Do not shut your heart to love. Ask God
for a discerning spirit to know when He
deliberately places people around you to
love you as a colleague, neighbour, friend,
spouse, family etc. Living the connected
life is best exemplified by living out the
love of God.
3. Confession:
I am a child of God, I am born of God, I live a life of love because God's love is in my heart.

1. Have you ever wondered why connection
is important? It is because connection
leads us to God's divine mandate for His
people, which is unity. God wants His
children to be united because it profits
two things: first, it commands God's
presence and grace.
2. Connection automatically attracts the presence of God to you just like He was drawn to the people at the tower of Babel.
Secondly, it promotes the demonstration
of the nature of God. How do you say you
love God and you do not love your brothers and sisters?
3. The only way to show the God-kind of love is through connection. From human
experience, not all connections work out
according to your plan. However, caution
in connection should not limit the blessedness of the connection. Therefore,make deliberate effort to connect & belong.
