John 13:34
John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
From “God’s Blogs” by Lanny Donoho:
“Someone is needing encouragements and apologies—needing them like air and water. Close this book and call a friend.”
It’s fine to get introspective, to examine your relationship with the Lord and to marvel at the idea that He would choose you to be His own and that He would use you to accomplish His will in the world. This is part of the joy He gives us.
But at a certain point, our faith demands that we turn our attention outward. Jesus Himself commanded that we love one another, and our love for Him reveals itself when we obey.
Who do you know who needs encouragement? To whom do you owe an apology? Who do you know who is sick and could use a meal or a phone call? Which of your friends need prayer?
Let’s get to work. Let’s stop what we’re doing and show someone the love that Jesus first showed us.
