Jesus showed how he loved by reaching down to those who were outcasts, sick, the rejected the untouchables. He spoke to them, touched them, healed them spent time with them.
Often our days are filled with meeting people who are hurting on the inside not so many on the outside so how do we love on those people?
Today I spoke to someone who couldn't forgive someone who had hurt her family years ago. She knew she should forgive as she was a catholic and her comment was "They haven't said sorry and I am not Jesus."
I shared the above verse with her and encouraged her not to let that person live rent free in her head and to let the past go! Did I love on her? Did she feel condemnation from me or compassion?
Love is not a feeling its more like an action,
Loving on people is serving its in the little things, love is in the listening, the caring, the going the extra mile its not always in the emotion.
So my challenge when I read that verse today was for me to love on people and only when I do that will others see that I am a Jesus follower!
