Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
Love—genuine, fervent, passionate love—is unique. It stands out. It makes a difference. Both Christians and non-Christians notice this kind of love. When a Christian shows Christ's love, it can encourage people who don't follow Him and people who do follow Him. There's something special—something noticeable—about this kind of love.
Forbidden words and phrases have snuck into our everyday vocabulary. It is a rare thing to hear God’s name magnified instead of misused. Insults, complaints, and juicy gossip have replaced conversations about the weather and sales on shoes. Your chance of making a difference might look slim when you hear so much sour. But maybe you can be a little spark in the darkness.
In the world, we are bombarded with messages that tell us who we should be. The world tells us what it thinks is okay and not okay…and we listen.
Your little actions make a big difference. So how do we learn to smile, even if we’re having a bad day? How do we learn to be genuinely friendly?
The attention you get from people on this earth is temporary. Trust me. People's interests (including their interest in you) come and go. They're into something one minute and disinterested the next.
