WHAT WE DO

“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”

1 Timothy 4:12 KJV

It’s not what we say to people that proves to them that we love them, it’s what we do for them.  We should tell them we love them but then we should do something for them so they will know that we love them.  If God tells us He loves us but never does anything for us, we would wonder if He really loves us.

However, God does many things for us every day.  The most important thing He has done to prove to us how much He loves us is giving His beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins.  What an amazing unconditional love flowed from the heart of our Heavenly Father for us on that day.

We can tell Jesus that we love Him every hour of the day but it is what we do for Him that proves to Him that we love Him.  How can we prove to Jesus how much we love Him?  We can prove to Him that we love Him by serving Him with all of our heart and with all of our time, not just when it is convenient for us.

If we want to serve Jesus and make Him happy, we will have to shut off the television and get out of our comfort zone.  Jesus left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die on the cross for our sins.  He had never sinned but He allowed them to crucify Him for your sins and for my sins.

Heavenly Father, help us to love one another unconditionally.  Jesus, thank You for loving us so much that You died on the cross for us.  I love You with all of my heart.  Jesus, You are worthy to be praised and adored.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
