May 30 The Power of God’s Word
I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters you were doing it to me. –Matthew 25:40 (NLT)
DO TO THEM AS YOU DO UNTO ME
Do you treat people with kindness?
How often do you grant forgiveness?
Do you allow others to be in pain or suffer?
Do you go out of your way to help and offer?
I tell you the truth, when you do it to your brothers
You are a doing it unto your heavenly father
He wants us to cherish and love one another
That is the only way our life gets better.
How often do you think of Jesus when you do something for someone? Many people do things without even realizing that when they do so, they are actually doing it to the Lord too. How we relate to others is how we relate to God. How we treat someone is also how we treat ourselves. When someone is so angry, he or she is also angry with himself/herself and probably with God as well.
The bible tells us that what we do to the least of our brothers and sisters, we are doing to God. If we ignore others, we also ignore God. If we hate ourselves, we probably hate others and God as well.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to walk in love.
REFLECTION
Why do you think God wants us to love?
