JOHN 13:35
By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.
Points to meditate
It's easy to write off someone because they don't believe as we do, they're making poor decisions, or they're against what we stand for. Too often we try to make them believe, but some things don't happen overnight. Their heart may not be open yet, but at the right time God will soften their heart. Will you keep sowing seeds of love in that friend who shows no sign of changing? Will you keep loving that family member who says they don't believe. Will you keep praying for that coworker who ridicules believers?
Jesus said your love for one another will prove you are His follower. It's not by your doctrine, not by how many Scriptures you can quote, not by how right you are, but by how much you love them. You don't judge them. You don't look down because they don't believe as you do. You just keep loving and being good to them. They're in your life because God is counting on you to help them change.
Say aloud
I will love others. In Jesus name, Amen.
Prayer
Jesus, Thank You for the people You've brought into my life that I might love and encourage in their journey to faith. Help me to be a reflection of Your love and to always be there for them. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
