Topic - Loving One Another
And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men . . . — 1 Thessalonians 3:12
One of the growing psychological problems facing people today is
loneliness. One of the greatest ministries that a person can have today
is just being a good listener. Many people are longing not only to be
loved but to have someone who will listen to them. When we love God with
all our hearts, then we have the capacity to love our neighbor. The
greatest need in the world today is not more science, not more social
engineering, not more teaching, not more knowledge, not more power, not
even more preaching—the greatest need we have today is for love. And the
only way that love can be supplied is by a supernatural act of the Holy
Spirit that transforms lives.
The love that God gives is not the ordinary love that we find in the
world today. When we love our neighbors, it is not our loving with
natural love, it is God loving through us. If you are willing to do
this, God will give you His love.
Prayer for the day: I love You, Jesus. How often I take for granted
Your immeasurable act of love for me upon the cross. Help me to keep my
eyes fixed on You, that through Your supreme example I can reach out to
my neighbor.
