This month I want to focus on creative ways to show love to people. A pastor that I heard recently made a comment that made me stop and think. He said "we should love people with no hidden motives, we shouldn't love them so they will get saved. We should love them because Jesus loves them. We should love them even if they never become a Chistian."
Stop and think about that. Are you loving the people in your life? Love means to do what is best for them. Love means sacrifice. But when you sacrifice for love, it doesn't really seem like such a sacrifice.
The catch is -we can't really love people the way we should unless we are in a love relationship with God. Are you loving God? Can God pour His love through you to a hurting world. I believe so!!!! And I can't wait to hear about how God is using you to change our world!!!!
You showing love on someone doesn't mean that you don't have to share the love of Christ with them. If you have a chance- DEFINATELY do. But love them regardless...and guess what? You probably won't even have to say much, they will notice that you are differnt than other people in their life.
Love somebody today. As you sit at school and wait for your kids, pray for everyone that passes your car. Tip someone who isn't expecting it and tell them to have a good day. Start visiting a nursing home once a week. Busy dad, take your kids out for an icecream.
Let Jesus' love flow through you. I really, really, really believe that it is the love that we let Jesus pour through us that will change the entire world. Start changing your world today.
