Living By Love
Ambassadors for Christ Leading Others By Their Love!
Those Who Live Humbled That God Will Exalt!!
One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, He was being carefully watched. Luke 14: 1
He was being carefully watched.
They were all watching to see what He would do.
They were all watching to see if He would continue to shatter their paradigms of living, of what it is to be holy.
They were all watching to see if He would bring healing.
We Christians are being carefully watched too.
That people all around us watch us to see how we react.
That people are watching how we do our job.
That people are watching how we drive on the freeway.
That people are watching if we put our carts back at the grocery store.
That people watch to see what it means to be a Christian.
That people are watching us to see if they want to be a Christian.
That how we act or react significantly impacts others wanting to know Christ.
That’s why Jesus told us that we are to be known by our love.
That God, Jesus will even give us great challenges in this life, big obstacles or unfair situations, simply that we could show out Christ in those situations, that others around us believe.
That people will watch us to see if we bring healing to those situations like Jesus did.
May we know that we know that we know we can be the example of love around us that leads someone to believe in Jesus.
May we know that we know that we know if we feel we have failed, to do this as well as we liked, that we get to remember that the reason we follow Jesus is that He got it all right, the only one who has and could.
May we know that we know that we know if we find ourselves in a hard situation, in an unfair circumstance, that we can remind ourselves, that, that might be the point, that God is bringing people around us to Him, allowing us to be His witnesses of love.
