Continued from page 1
When someone's house burns down and they've no place to go, lay down your inconvenience to offer temporary shelter.
When you're hungry after a worship service but
church bus breaks down (leaving children no way home), put your need on hold.
When someone you love needs your love, lay down your life. Love them as Jesus has loved you (vs. 12). And, even when they're not your best friend, Jesus is.
We don't have to meet every need in
universe, just
ones Jesus asks of us (vs. 14). We can all do those. Once we discover how wonderful it is to be messengers of love, we're eager to serve God more, Ac. 20:35.
