Today's devotion: 1 John 3:16-18
"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." ~ 1 John 3:18
We confess with our mouth that Jesus is our Lord and Savior, and we don't stop there. Like faith, love is also justified by action, be it love for God, our loved ones or enemy.
Some people may feel very helpless, for they thought they have provided all that their families need - enough pocket money and all, yet their families aren't satisfied with them. If you are one of them who face this problem, actually, all they want is your T.I.M.E.
God's love is the greatest motivation and energy source to move us in doing anything. And Jesus Himself demonstrated to us how love should be, by being nailed on the cross. If He only walked around and told everyone "I love you" and "I love you", yet chose not to be dead on the cross when the time came, we are destined to eternal death today. For it is through His love that He had shown on the cross that the whole world is saved. It is now up to you and me to choose whether to receive His love or not.
Thus, let's fix our eyes on Jesus always, and look up to Him for how we should love one another in life like He does towards all of us. Live the Word out. God bless..
