The main thing I hope everyone who has been involved in the Love Project receives is the motivation to make love a way of life centered on loving authentically. by serving others. We love….so we serve. Imagine the difference we can see as we do this at home. Families will look beyond past difficulties and look for ways to love and support each other. They will be committed to serving one another through God’s love at work on the inside of them. Imagine husbands and wives that are willing to lay down their own selfishness, and seek to serve the other. When we decide to find ways to make someone else’s life easier, we are sowing seed that will reap amazing benefits in our own life. Imagine in the work place, even in a secular environment, love demonstrated by serving will reap rewards. Finding ways to be helpful to the colleagues in your office or working environment will demonstrate that you are truly Jesus’ disciple. As a team player, you can seek for ways to serve others. Imagine churches if we would love by serving. We would have more than enough volunteers to do everything we have on our heart to do. From leaders to small groups, to children’s workers, to greeters and hospitality, to community outreach, to world outreach, all the way to making sure God’s house is excellent in every way serving as a demonstration of love would have a powerful impact. So have you been moved to action? What can you do to demonstrate love to those around you? I want to encourage you….why not start right where you are. Start at home, start with those in your own household. Then take it to work, to church, to your community. Find ways to serve people. It means keeping your eyes open and being willing to be inconvenienced every once in a while. Involve your family, how cool it could be for your whole family to serve at a soup kitchen together. Or take them to a retirement center and give out cookies, or just visit. If we want to make love a way of life for generations to come, it has to become a lifestyle, not just something we do once a year. Be encouraged to demonstrate love today.
