I have a challenge this week for all of us, Young Adults. This week lets try and focus on how we can love those around us. 1 John 3:16-18 says, "By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth." I am sure we all see a lot of needs right now. The needs of our family members, coworkers, and friends. What if this week, we love not just in our words but our deeds.
This week, I am going to look for ways I can show an act of love towards my family, my fiance, and my best friend.
How are you going to lay down your life and love others this week?
I'm praying that the Holy Spirit would open your eyes to the needs and opportunities you have to love this week! Love is an action! Miss you all dearly.
