Topic: Love! People Must Recognise Us Not For Our Cunning And Wicked Deeds But By Our Love.
John 13: 35. âBy this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.â
The sign of a Christian is love. How many people know youâre a Christian because of your loving lifestyle? Is it 100 or 10 or none? It's upto us for self introspection.
We sing about love, talk about love, pray about love, and study love. But do we show it? Or do we instead put down others who are faithful to God? To develop love as your life principle and make it your greatest aim, you need to take action as soon as you finish reading this devotionalâbecause love doesnt just talk but acts!
Hereâs what we need to do to develop a loving lifestyle.
It's challenging but not impossible.
First, start acting lovingly in your relationships *first at home* and then with neighbours, relatives, eork place, church and othee places we go daily.
Have you acted unlovingly toward someone or hold grudge, hatred and try to put down them? *Itâs time to seek reconciliation. Make things right with your kids, your spouse, eith your friends, your parents, or someone at school or work place.*
Then, start increasing the number of relationships you have. If the most important aim in life is to love, then we need to build as many relationships as possible. Why? Because the world will know about Godâs love by the way Christians love each otherâand by how Christians love other people around the
It takes time to love other people. If you love your friends, youâve got to spend time with them. If you love your kids, you spend time with them and deal wisely and gently.
If you love Jesus, you have to spend time with Him too in prayer and Word Of God.
Love always costs time and energy. But itâs always worth it.
Can you imagine what would happen if everyone in the church loved like thisâif we all committed ourselves to acting in love and giving our time unselfishly so that people could get a taste of how much God loves them? It would change just the church but it would chsnge the world too. But it does not happen. Why? Simple. Too many activities and too many tags attached, but no love visible. It would grow Godâs Kingdom. If we truly focus on Christ's love, It would make God so happy.
People are attracted to Christ more than they are persuaded to him. Theyâre attracted by the love of God shown through the people who claim to follow him.
And they wonât care what we know until they first know that we care.
Lord help us not to envy or be jealous of someone's progress - coming up, not to behave rudely which we often do, not to seek our own and not to think evil or a fall of someone but to bear all things with forgiveness and endure all things spoken and did against us and win people rather than win arguments and losing them. We need your grace and power to be gracious kind and loving. Help us dear Lord to speak less and love more... In ....
Gratitude makes you more resistant to stress and increases your happiness and satisfaction. Gratitude shows truly how humble you are, and more or less our Spiritual walk with Christ.
