Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
I John 3:18
How is love ‘lived out’ in the real world seven days a week?
Let me give you some ‘real world’ examples from His Place this week.
This is not, in any way, meant to be exhaustive or even a model. It is just some samples of different ways that His love is lived out in the lives of the believers each and every day.
Monday
Love Trusts – The man who has been unemployed for some time actively and confidently attends a networking meeting and throughout the week applies for jobs and continues to trust God with His future.
Tuesday
Love Prays – The call goes out to the prayer warriors to pray and ask for God’s healing power in advance of surgery for one of our ladies on Wednesday.
Wednesday
Love Believes – That same lady, who is facing the surgeon’s scalpel, believes that, not only will God guide the surgical team but, He will bring a speedy and complete recovery to her as well.
Thursday
Love Provides – Meals are prepared for one unable to provide for themselves for a season. The Body of Christ pitches in, without grumbling, and in a demonstration of His love in action.
Friday
Love Serves – The Sonography Technician leaves for Haiti to minister in service with his skills in ways others cannot. Sacrificially offering what he can to those who can give little in return.
Saturday
Love Prepares – In practical ways. The sanctuary and church is cleaned and readied for the corporate worship on Sunday.
Sunday
Love Comforts – The family that experienced the loss of a loved one knows the comfort of God brought through a shepherd who offers comfort and hope.
Could you express greater examples of how love serves, comforts, provides, etc…?
Yes, probably and I encourage you to look.
I believe that in searching for them and finding them we actually strengthen our
faith in the work that God is doing right in our midst.
It is too easy, far too often, to miss the hand of God at work in our world.
Look for evidence of His love, this week, at work in your life and in the lives of those around you.
