Caring for Others

“A new commandment I give to you; that you love one another,
as I have loved you…”

John 13:34
 

The greatest example of a loving Christian is their care and service for others. Just as the Lord came to serve us, we reflect his character in how we help one another.

Some of the most effective leaders and movements of evangelical Christianity have been birthed through Henrietta Mear’s influence. She may have well been among the greatest Christians of the twentieth century. I am told by those who knew her that when she entered a room; people often had the feeling that she was saying to each person “Where have you been? I’ve been looking all over for you.” Her secret? Like Christ, she was always asking, “How may I serve you?”

Thought for the Day:
The heart of God is to serve others, not ourselves.
