“Acts of Love”
Categories: LoveGreetings Brethren and Friends,
It was a work of love that Jesus laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. How does the love of God abide in one who has the worlds goods, but shuts up his heart against a brother in need? The child of God must love in deed and in truth, not in word or tongue. Jesus told His disciples, and by extension us, that we should feed the hungry, and give drink to the thirsty, cloth the naked, visit the sick, and take in the stranger. He continues saying, " Not everyone who says to Me Lord, Lord shall enter the Kingdom of heaven, but those who do the will of the heavenly Father."
Father, help us to remove the selfishness from our lives, and to consider and care for those in need, especially those of the household of faith.
In Jesus name we pray, AMEN.
