Read Romans 12.
This chapter gives some very practical guidance on living as a Christian. The first step in this journey with Christ is to give ourselves as living sacrifices. What does that look like? It is going to God with empty hands - no hidden agendas, no crossed fingers, nothing behind your back. It is going to Him with a willingness to do whatever he says. God desires that we surrender every part of our lives to Him.
He has gifted each one of His children with abilities to bless others and illuminate God’s love on earth. That is love in action. God calls us to authentic and genuine love which requires concentration and effort. It means helping others become better people. It demands our time, money, and personal involvement. No individual has the capacity to express love to a whole community, but the body of Christ, together, can make a huge difference.
Personal Worship Option:
Look for people who need your love today. Use the gifts and abilities that God has given you to make a difference.
