🌸 Daily Devotional – November 6, 2025 Theme: Love That Reflects the Heart of Jesus Scripture: “Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.”— 1 John 4:11 (KJV) Reflection: Love is the foundation of our faith.

Yet even in those shattered places, God is quietly at work, gathering every piece of our pain and holding it tenderly in His hands. When life feels like it will never be whole again, remember: God is the Master Restorer. He doesn
