Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:11 (NIV) from Bible Gateway
I've written recently about the example God set for us and how he wants us to influence each other, then about how He loves us so much he sacrificed His Son for us. The next logical step is to follow His example of love and selflessness and show love to one another. Obviously, that doesn't mean walking around hugging and kissing everyone. More practically, it means providing food for someone who is hungry, shelter for someone out in the cold, a sympathetic ear to someone who is hurting. What would God do in a situation, and how close can we come to emulating that action? Yes, it's kind of like WWJD. At the base of it is always love. We'll make mistakes and not always know what to do, but if we are stepping out and offering love, it will still bring joy to our Lord's heart and He will likely use whatever we do to bless someone. Love is the answer.
