“I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Psalm 18:1-2, ESV
Indeed, Lord, you are our rock and fortress, our refuge and deliverer. Who can shield us from our fear and anxiety, but you Lord whose presence is in us, who brings us peace and cast out all our fears!

“No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.” 1 John 4:12, ESV
Although we have never seen God, we experience His abiding presence, and His love is made visible as we show love to others. We are thus empowered to bless and love one another, delighting in Him, and glorifying His name!

“With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.” Ephesian 4:2, ESV.
The current pandemic has reminded us that we are called to live responsibly and to love and care for one another. Bestowed with God’s unconditional and bountiful love, we are blessed to bless.

“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God”. Ephesian 5:1-2, – ESV.
To imitate God is to be Christlike in our being and doing. Nothing delights Him more than seeing His beloved children act redemptively and sacrificially like Christ did in reaching out and loving others with the gospel.

“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” – Micah 6:8, ESV
Saint Augustine wrote, “Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.” Micah 6:8 is a timely reminder for us to restore relationships, to show lovingkindness, and to absolutely depend on God in such endemic times: to watch out for and help one another stay safe and healthy—physically, mentally, and spiritually.
