Love. Love one another. Love like Jesus loved. Up to this point in His life
Jesus had shown love by teaching, healing, feeding and being compassionate to
people—even those who didn’t show Him love. That’s the kind of example Jesus is
for us…loving those who don’t “deserve” our love—our compassion, our
caring. Sometimes that is even within
our own family or circle of friends. I have a very loving family and supportive
group of friends—but there are some in every community who aren’t loving. I
think of the domestic violence victims who seemingly have no way out. Love one
another. Reach out to victims like these people, mostly women and children, and
help them. Help them find the Lord…and provide for their basic needs. That is
what Jesus would do. That is how He would show His love.
RSVP: Listen to Jesus’ voice today—He will tell you how He wants you to help
others…to show His love. It may not be to those victims of Domestic Violence,
but it may be to others who are in your home, neighborhood or community…or
somewhere around the world who are lonely and just need to see Jesus in you.
How will you respond today to Jesus’ voice calling you to love one another?
Prayer~ Jesus, We know what real love is because You gave up Your life
for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. If
someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but
shows no compassion--how can God's love be in that person? So let us not merely
say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions...from 1 John
3:16-18 NLT. Lord, may my actions speak louder than my words in giving You the
glory and honor for showing me how to love others.
Friday’s Feast at the
King’s Table
Love God…love the food He created! Something to share with others….
Foods that nourish are foods that show love…but then so do scrumptious
desserts. Hmmm. What shall we feast on today? Something quick and simple that
can be served at any time of day.
