Our Actions
How would you act at the DMV if the person at the counter was your best friend? How would you act if the slow driver in the parking lot was your mother? How would you treat the waiter or waitress if it was your niece or nephew?
John writes in 1 John 3:18, "Dear children, let us not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions."
The way we treat people is one way Christians are to be different from others. Jesus says in John 13:34-35, "So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
Dear Lord, Our selfishness often gets in the way of our love for others. Help us find the joy that comes from showing our love for one another. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
