Love in Action

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:34–35 WEB.

At the last supper, Jesus rose and washed His disciple's feet. Then He told them to love one another, just as He had loved them. By this, all people would know they were His disciples.

His love was love in action and not just words. We are to show our love by serving each other. When people see you do this, it means more than mere words can say. Our actions speak louder than words. People don't care how much know until they know how much you care.

Love others as God loves us. Forgive others, and God will forgive us. Even in the model prayer, Jesus said, "Forgive us our sins, For we also forgive everyone indebted to us" (Luke 11:4). Now, that doesn't mean you are a doormat for someone who is repeatedly trying to use you.

Be kind, be loving, be gentle. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you get the chance to open the door for someone today, then do it. You can make the world a slightly better place to live and be a powerful witness without even opening your mouth.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please help me show Your love on Earth today. Please give me the grace to endure whatever I face with a smile. Let me walk under Your anointing and strength and not my own. Speak to me and through me. Heal through me, and when people meet me, let them meet You. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
