All You Need Is Love

No... seriously. What is the most important commandment Jesus gives? Love God first, and then others(Mark 12:30). There are so many people that I come in contact with everyday who God has laid on my heart to witness to. But what better way to witness to them than to show them LOVE? What better way to show them that Jesus loves them than to show them that no matter what they've done, where they've come from - I genuinely care for them and love them. No, I obviously can never love them as much as Jesus can. My love is imperfect. But with Jesus, I can show them the kind of love that really makes a difference.
There are so many people who need Jesus. If I'm completly realistic, I can't reach all of them! There is no way I can share Jesus with the entire world. But I can show LOVE to everyone that I come in contact with so that they know without a shadow of a doubt that there is something different about me, something alive within me.
It's not about telling people that they can do whatever they want because no matter what they do God still loves them. It's about showing them that IN SPITE of what they do, and what I do, Jesus loved us enough to die for us(Romans 5:8)!
