1 John 3:17-18
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? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
In love you never come to get – YOU COME TO GIVE. The person who only comes to get doesn’t understand love and is impoverished by getting.
That is why you don’t enter a loving relationship looking at what you will get from the other partner, but rather, what you will give. Many people have created problems for their relationships by that misunderstanding. If all lovers will focus on ‘their giving’ rather than on ‘their getting’, relationships and marriages will be such a beauty. But human love is exactly the opposite, that’s why I tell you what we call love is not love at all.
When you see someone in need and you turn a cold shoulder and do nothing about it, Brother John says, how can you say you have the love of God in you? For most of us believers, our love is merely theoretical. But love must be very practical. Open your bowels of compassion and give to someone today. Give your time, give a helping hand, give your money, give your prayer, give a kind word. JUST GIVE FOR LOVE ALWAYS GIVES. May the month of March be glorious for you in Jesus name. Amen.
GRACEFUL MORNING
