Live In Love Read: Psalm 112 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; he is gracious, and full of compassion. Psalm 112:4 Bible in a Year: Psalms 110-112; 1 Corinthians 5 In the African country where my friend Roxanne lives, water is a precious commodity. People often have to travel long distances to collect water from small, contaminated creeksâleading to sickness and death. Itâs difficult for organizations like orphanages and churches to serve the people because of a lack of water. But thatâs beginning to change. Through Roxanne's leadership and the unselfish gifts of some loving people in established churches, clean water wells are being dug. At least six new wells are now operational, allowing churches to be centers of hope and encouragement. A health center and a home for 700 orphans will also be able to be opened because of access to water. That's the kind of love that can flow from believers in Christ when we have experienced the love and generosity of God. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 13 that if we don't have love, our voices clang on peoples ears and our faith means nothing. And the apostle John says that if we have material possessions and see others in need and take action, thatâs evidence that God's love is abiding in us(1 John 3.16. God desires that we deal graciously (Ps. 112:5) with those in need, for His heart is gracious toward us. Be not weary in your serving; Do your best for those in need; Kindnesses will be rewarded By the Lord who prompts the deed. Kindness is Christianity with its working clothes on. |
