“To say that I am made in the image of God
is to say that love is the reason for my existence,
for God is love.
Love is my true identity.
Selflessness is my true self.
Love is my true character.
Love is my name.”
— Thomas Merton
Read 1 John 4:7-21 and reflect on God’s love. How do you see the image of love in yourself? How do you see it in those around you? Live today in the light of your identity, your self, your character, and your name: love.
