“Your love for one other will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
(John 13:35, NLT)
If you know someone who is struggling, just put an arm around them and let them know that you care and that you have been thinking about them. To truly show them the love of God, stand next to them, pray with them and make a difference. That is the kind of life-altering love that Jesus showed as an example in the Bible.
Love is a perfectly good word, so don’t be afraid to use it. Jesus said that more than anything else, love will be the way that the world knows the disciples of Christ. Go visit an old friend, tell your family that you love them; or do something else for someone to express the love that you have for them.
God, thank You for loving me first. Give me the strength to love others and to display that love for others to see. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
(Joel & Victoria Osteen)
