Though the concept of imitating Christ can feel vague sometimes, I hope these 10 ideas provide inspiration for you on how to show Christlike love to others:
- Smile.
- Thank someone (for example, a sibling, friend, coworker, cashier, or waitress).
- Perform a random act of kindness (for example, wash the dishes for your mom, buy a toy for your younger sibling, or bake cookies for your neighbor).
- Write an encouraging letter or email to a missionary.
- Pray for someone in need.
- Praise or compliment someone.
- Mail a card to a member of your church who recently lost a loved one.
- Send a gift to a family member or friend who lives far away.
- Hold the door open for someone.
- Have a conversation with a classmate or coworker who seems lonely.
“I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35 NASB)
