To Love One Another

0

There will come a day when you, I and all the nations will stand before King Jesus and have a conversation that looks like this:

 The King will say to those on His right, “Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;  I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.'”

Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, “Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?  Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?”

And the King will answer and say to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.”

Now there will also be those on his left, those who did not do these things. And their fate will be quite different from those on right. My goal is to live my life on His right. I am called to serve others–in particular the lost, the hurting, the broken, the oppressed, the families who don’t know where their next meal is coming from, or how they will ever pay for their children to go to school. This is not merely a suggestion or something I should do when I retire or when I feel my family is financially stable. Serving others is a life style. It is about looking into the eyes of Jesus every day, and saying “Lord, I choose you; I want to serve you. I want to love as you love.”

Thank you my friends for all you do every day to show the love of Christ in the least of these.

Love Always,
Laurie
