A great relationship can be one of the greatest joys of life. Jesus set such a great example relationally for us by loving everyone he came in contact with. Hi, this is Dorette Schaal with your dailyeword. I hope that you have begun to see how much God loves you, and how much love God has given you to share with others. It is so easy to concentrate on receiving love, that we forget why we are here, and that is to give it away by serving others. Jesus did it perfectly! Let’s put love into practice this week. Here is your daily eword.
Its not about me. I think we know that, but sometimes we act like it is all about us! In Mark 10:45 the Bible says that the Son of Man (Jesus) did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. Jesus demonstrated by his life that when you sow seeds of love, you will reap wonderful benefits in your own life. Seed produces after its own kind, so when you plant a corn seed and you get corn in return. You plant a love seed, and you get back love in return. It may not be immediate, but it is coming back! My mom’s life this fall is a perfect example of God blessings flowing back from seed sown. Both of her hips have disintegrated, and she is having them both replaced. After loosing her mobility for a season, she was overwhelmed with the love and care shown to her from her water aerobics class, her neighbors, her friends from all walks of life and her church family. People have been a great avenue of blessing to her in her time of need. Because she has a heart to serve, she feels like she should be serving others, but God is meeting her every need because of the seed she has sown over and over again throughout the years. She realizes that God is her supply, but he is using others to one another her in her time of need. Isn’t that just like God?
