Devotion:
Read 1 John 3:11-24.
This passage offers reminders of what it looks like to “love one another.” We love others because God first loved us. For the Christ follower nothing is greater than when we love those in need. When we love them, we love Christ.
Jesus will recount, one by one, all the acts of kindness. Every deed done to improve the lot of another person. Even the small ones. The works of mercy and simple deeds. Yet, in these simple deeds, we serve Jesus. Astounding truth: we serve Christ by serving needy people and in so doing others will be drawn to Christ.
Personal Worship Option:
Prayer for today: Heavenly Father, every breath is a gift from you. Even so, I confess that sometimes my own hand remains tightly closed when I encounter the needs of others. Please open both my hand and my heart that I may honor You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
