Day 28 - Love Them

A Weightless Devotional

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." —1 Corinthians 10:31

When Jesus was asked what the most important thing God wants from us is, He gave a simple yet profound answer: to love God and love others (Mark 12:28-31). That’s it. Love is the heart of everything—God’s plan for your life, your purpose, and how you live it out. So when the Bible tells us to do everything for God’s glory, whether it's eating, drinking, or anything else, it’s talking about love.

Love is at the root of our faith. Loving God and loving others, in everything we do, speaks to the world of the goodness of God.

Now, you might be wondering, how does this all relate to anxiety? Are you saying anxiety is the opposite of love, and if I’m anxious, it means I’m not loving? Well, good thought. The truth is, anxiety and love have a deeper connection than we might have previously realized.

Let’s take a look at how anxiety connects to love. Love, as we know, isn’t always pleasant—it’s not just about feeling warm and fuzzy inside. It’s not just about peace and calm. Love is more than a feeling—it’s a choice, a mindset, and an action. And when you’re struggling with anxiety, love with all its selfless words and actions can be the last thing on your mind.
