1 John 3:17 – If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?
How we respond when confronted with suffering reveals much about our hearts. Do we turn away untouched or allow God’s love to overflow in practical aid?
This verse is a sobering wake-up call to get real about whether our lives demonstrate Christlike compassion.
Talk is Cheap
While good intentions and emotions have value, godly love goes further to generously meet tangible needs.
As Christ followers, we’re called to more than offer encouraging words, but to give sacrificially of our time, resources and energy. True faith serves with sleeves rolled up.
Overcoming Indifference
It’s tempting to become desensitized to the poverty around us. We must actively resist apathy, believing each person matters profoundly to God.
When we embrace opportunities to care for the hurting, we reflect His limitless love that leaves no one behind.
Love On The Move
May our hands and feet follow where Jesus leads – binding wounds, feeding the hungry, welcoming outcasts.
As we grow in generosity and mercy, the world will better glimpse the Savior’s heart of compassion. Our lives must back up the message that God loves without limits.
