There is a song which says: “What the world needs now is love, sweet love”¦” and it does! Each person needs love, to be loved and to love others.

Selfishness demands love without thought of giving love.

Selflessness gives love without expecting a return ~ but what blessing to know others love you. The blessing of love which is not only expressed through actions but also through tone of voice and undivided attention, this is copying how Christ has shown His love to His followers.

Christ”™s love for His own was expressed

through His selfless and sacrificial actions on the cross.

The world is watching the followers of Christ and how they express their love for other believers.

(NASB) John 13:35 “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

You and I are responsible for our words and actions. How we talk about other believers when they are not present is a witness to those with whom we are talking.

How do your words sound? Are they negative and “˜put downs”™ or are they positive and uplifting?

What kind of witness are you to a watching world?
