by our love

everyone talks about of love... how we have to show the world love, show them Jesus. I don't see how it is going to make a difference if we bypass our Christain brothers and sisters to show the world... they will witness our actions towards eachother to determine if they will trust us or not. 'actions speak louder than word' its true.
I guess what I am trying to get at is... why don't we take care of our own? Those who are hurting and confused. There are many Christians who have been hurt, are lonely, who need encouragement and challenged, but we, we are too busy with our own lives, with our relationships, with our work, etc. to do anything about it... and sometimes even too busy to be aware there is a problem. So tell me when are we going to wake up and realize there are others in need, other brothers and sisters who we can help, who can inturn help others and so on... its a domino effect. But if we all stay in our little shells, where we are comfortable... no one will be helped, no one will change and no one will pass on the love.
Proverbs 17:17 A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.
Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, a friend sharpens a friend.

It is said 'they will know we are Chirstians by our love' ... to our Lord, to the world and to eachother. I challenge you to help those of your brothers and sister who may be wrestling with some hard stuff or having a hard time... I challenge you to love as God loves... try reading 1 Cor 13... and ALL of the Gospels.

Lord, thankyou for pouring down your amazing love on undesering poeple. Open my eyes and my heart to those around me who are hurting and need your love whether they are Christians or not. I pray for unity in the body of Christ, when one hurts we all hurt and we all help to ease the hurting. Help me to be genuine and sincere in all I do. Lord, I pray for passion, dedication and a peaceful heart. Thank you so much for loving me, even though I am unlovable and for continuing to teach me and reveal new things to my heart. I am thankful for a lot of things but most of all for You and the sacrafice You made so I may live and one day be with You, my SAvior, my Father, My Deliverer, my Best Friends. I love You! Thank You!
