NO GREATER LOVE

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

John 15: 13
King James Version

Many times we think that we have to buy expensive things to show our love to our friends. All the money in the world will not buy love; love comes from the heart.

The best way to show your love is to pray for your friends and give them your time. Joyce Landorf, a well known speaker and author, says on one of her teaching tapes “Someone came up to me and gave me a hug and said “Hi, how are you? I’ve got to rush. Bye”

Joyce said “Well, that’s not enough!” She said that we need to spend time with our loved ones and friends.

Through the years my sister has bought me so many beautiful and expensive things, but if she didn’t give me her time, it wouldn’t mean anything to me. The love behind the time she gives me is what matters to me. Her love will remain in my heart.

She is a very busy person and has some health problems where she doesn’t always feel like doing things or giving me her time, but she does it anyway.

Many times we can show our love in little things.  When is the last time you hugged someone for Jesus?  If you're not comfortable hugging someone, hug them with your words and tell them Jesus loves them.
