DO PEOPLE KNOW

“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

John 13:35 KJV

Peter Schools wrote an inspiring hymn “They’ll Know We Are Christians By Our Love”.  “And they'll know we are Christians By our love, by our love, Yes, they'll know we are Christians By our love.”  What about it?  Do people know by our loving words and actions that we are Christians?

It is so important that we let others see and hear the love of Jesus in our actions and in our words.  We don’t know what heartaches people have and the dark valleys they are going through but Jesus knows.  May God help us to show the love of Jesus to others not only by our words but also by our actions.

We read these words in the Bible.  “So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved” (Isaiah 41:7).  Are we encouragers to everyone we see?
