Displaying Christ’s Love

Standard

Devotion:  1 John 4:19

When is the last time you displayed unconditional love to someone?  It may have been someone standing on the side of the street or ministering to a hurt child or even one of God’s creatures.

Can you display love to one with whom you disagree?  Jesus was even kind to the one who would betray Him.  Will you choose to show the same mercy and grace that Jesus continually shows to you?

“Be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.”  How many times have we put that verse into action?

Think of the hardest situation you’ve ever found yourself in and overcame.  If God helped you before; He will help you again to overcome,  Trust Him.  Obey Him.  Follow His ways that are higher than yours.  You can respond by the power of Jesus blood and His Holy Spirit.

Christ first loved us and gave Himself up for us.  Will you  choose to die to your own flesh, your own selfish desires, so that His will may be done on earth, as it is in heaven.  He asked us to obey His commandments and because we long to obey quickly at all costs, He will bless you beyond what you could ever ask or think of imagine.

Can you show love to all whom God places in your path?  If God asks you to give, will you give whatever He asks?  He will give back to you beyond what you would ask or think or imagine.  It may be the gift of time; money or the restoration of some broken relationship.  He is a good, good Father.

Prayer in Motion:

Lord, thank You for displaying Your great love to me and teaching me to display the same great love to others.  In Jesus Name.  Amen.
