Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us - 1 John 4:11-12. Loving others is one of the main things a church should be about. The church needs to become known for what it is for, not what it is against. The second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. Love is not only a feeling, it is an action. It is a choice. We want to become known in the community for our love. We want people to say, “The Grove – those people really love others.”
How can we show love to others? How can we go out of our way to bless people? How can we show the love of God through our love? We love because He first loved us. Let’s live this out!
I say we sponsor a kid!

ReplyDeleteDear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, even though they are strangers to you. They have told the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
