"Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy." -Thomas Merton
Love is at the heart of the Bible. It is the very essence of Jesus Christ. After all, God sent his Son to die on the cross for all of our sins because he loves us so much. We are supposed to love others as Christ loves us. So, what does that look like?
There's no specific formula for how to love others. It's simple. We love others best when we love God most. A big part of loving others is SERVING them. It's about community and spending time with each other. When you devote your time to loving others and serving your community, you accomplish meaning to life and the reason God put us all here in the first place. Loving others is not a one day decision; it's a lifestyle.
Francis Chan said it best in his statement, "Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people He has made."
Get out there and show someone some love. Ask God to show you how to love others the way He loves us.
