Love

Love. That is a word that gets thrown about a whole lot these days. We love this. We love that. But what does the Word say about that. In the first letter of John, the writer urges us not to just say we love each other, but let us show that love by our actions (1John 3:18-19). So my question tonight is, are we really doing that or are we just going through the motions with empty words? Jesus commanded us to love one another just as He has loved us (John 13:34). Jesus showed us His love for us by His actions and so must we. We must show our love for not only our brothers and sisters in Christ but for all those around us who need Jesus as well. It may a simple act such as buying a meal for a complete stranger at a resturant. It could be doing a chore or odd job for a neighbor. It could even be as easy as reaching out to someone just to let them talk. Showing love for another is not complicated. Give it a try.
