The lyrics to an old familiar song written by Peter Scholtes rang loudly in my spirit one day. “And they’ll know we are Christians by our love by our love, and they will know we are Christians by our love.” These simple yet powerful words remind believers that we should be known for the love that we show.  Christianity was built on love. If it hadn’t been for our Heavenly Father’s matchless love sending His only son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins none of us would have a right to eternal life.  In fact, we can truly say that “It’s all about love.”

We must be a reflection of God’s love everywhere that we go. This even includes how we treat our own spouses, children, and other people who are close to us.  Often people will put on their “good Christian face” in public and act terribly at home.  God is not pleased with that type of behavior.  Our actions and the words that we say should be immersed in the love of God otherwise, we become as “sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal” as the scripture says in 1Cor 13:1.

Let’s always honor the greatest love that will ever exist, the love of our Heavenly Father. Because He is love (1 John 4:8). He has love for everyone in the entire world.  Let’s embrace His love daily and spread it everywhere that we go.

 

Reflections

  • Have you checked your love walk lately?

 

  • What kind of deed will you do for someone today?

 

  • How can you show God’s love to those who aren’t aware of who He is and how much He loves them?
