Lent Devotional: March 28

Abiding in God's love. What does this mean?

In the little French village of La Chambon, something extraordinary happened, yet those who participated considered what they did very ordinary. This little town saved over 5000 Jew during WWII from the Nazis. Living out the words over their church door "Let us love one another", they hid fleeing people and provided them life. When asked why they simply said they were doing what they thought everyone would do in their shoes. They did not see anything special about what they did and were in some sense embarrassed by the attention given to them for what they thought were natural, human actions. (I invite you to Google La Chambon-sur-Lignon and read more about this simple, yet profound village.)

God abides in love and those who abide in love abide in God and God abides in them. (1 John 4:16)
