TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
If anyone has this world’s goods (resources for
sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes
his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in
him? Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but indeed
and in truth...
1 John 3:17-18, AMP.
TODAY'S WORD:
I've heard it said that you can give without loving, but
you can’t love without giving. Notice this verse tells us that love isn't just
about our words or thoughts; it’s about our actions. Love is about reaching out
and meeting the needs of others. Sometimes meeting someone’s needs is as simple
as a smile or sharing a word of encouragement. There are many ways to show the
love of God. Can you pay for someone’s gas or groceries? Do you see a need in
someone’s life that you can meet? Remember, you are the hands and feet of Jesus
in the earth. The Lord wants to bless you today so that you can be a blessing
to others. He wants to work through you to show His love and compassion.
Today and every day, look for ways to put your love into
action. The Bible says that it’s His kindness that leads people to repentance.
He wants to show His kindness in the earth through you. Step out and sow good
seeds of love by meeting the needs of others. God promises that those seeds
will produce an abundant harvest in your life in return!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your hand of blessing in
my life. Thank You for choosing to work through me today. I submit myself and
my resources to You. Show me ways to be a blessing to others so that the earth
will be filled with the knowledge of Your glory in Jesus’ name. Amen.
