LOVING PLEASURE
The 92nd Day of Love
Memory Verse— Jude 1:21. Keep yourselves in the love of God.
The Prayer— Help me see, O God, how the love of pleasure has saturated our world.
The Affirmation— I am willing to give up pleasure because I love God, the church, and others more.
The Scripture Lesson— 2 Timothy 3:1-5
The Meditation
When “pleasure” is our God, the God is not our
“pleasure.”
Most people do what they please with most of
life; but they often find out that when they do
what they please, they are not always pleased
with what they do, and they are not always
pleased with what they become!
Is the drunkard pleased with the wrecks he has
caused that killed?
Is the immoral man pleased with his guilty
conscience?
Is the careless man pleased with the money he has
spent on pleasure, that he now needs to buy food
or pay past due bills?
Many things in the world that look like pleasure
are not pleasure at all!
In the end they bring sorrow and shame!
The greatest pleasure is in a clear conscience, a
right relationship with God, and a loving
attitude toward all people.
The pleasure of love is loving that pleases God—
and then we know joys that through all time
abide!
