Allowing Christ’s
love to speak through you will take courage.
Courage is to know what is right and then do it. Each day we are given courageous opportunities
to display the love of Christ to others.
When we are standing in a line that seems not to advance as quickly as
other lines, courage to love will resist the urge to complain but rather find
something that is going right to share with the person behind you who is
complaining.
Imagine what Paul
meant when he wrote to the Corinthians, “Love is patient, love is kind.” He has
attributed human characteristics to the verb love. Love actions flow with human
contributions. Patience and kindness
will naturally flow from us, when we manifest God’s amazing agape love to others.
Patience is to be
capable of enduring without giving up. “Whether
you think you can, or you think you can’t; either way you are right. – Henry Ford”
Paul has revealed to us that living a life that is pleasing to the father
begins with thinking and acting out of His love.
This is precisely
what God offers us through His son Jesus, and we are to offer the world through
our changed life in Him. Love cares more
for others than it does for itself. When
we allow God’s love to speak through us we are absolutely transformed into His
living testament to the world.
The revealed secret of God’s endurance and generosity
is Us.
