"Beloved, if God so loved us,
we ought also to love one another.
No man hath seen God at any time.
If we love one another, God dwelleth in us,
and his love is perfected in us."
1John 4:11-12

Labor of Love

When God created every thing,
 He used His unlimited power and boundless wisdom,
 but He was moved by His infinite love.
This is where every thing worthwhile begins . . .
with the love of God!

God's love must not flow into us as into a dead-end street.
By the Spirit's power,
 it flows through us and is reflected in our lives.
Our love for God and for others,
strengthened by gratitude for all God has done for us,
especially for His gift of forgiveness
and eternal life through His Son,
is the driving power behind the stewardship of our life.

We are called to love and to serve for Jesus' sake.
We all need food and clothing and a warm bed to sleep in,
yet there are many who have not these things.
The world is full of homeless children and adults.

As many of us are blessed with jobs and other gifts of God,
are we offering our blessings of God's love
to help others less fortunate?
Our stewardship in our daily Christian walk should be
reflecting off of Jesus' love.
We should spread our love by helping others whom
God created also, who are in need.
If we were to view others as a reflection of ourselves
in a mirror,
it would make such a difference in the world today.

We love because Christ first loved us and
gave His life to bring us back to God.
One way to portray this love is by our daily work,
which helps meets others needs.
This labor of love is never lost.

May all you do today be done in love
for our Lord and others in need.
"We love Him ~ Because He first loved us!
