Let Love
Be Genuine
Let love be genuine; hate what is
evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo
one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering,
persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality
to strangers.
Bless those who persecute you; bless
and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who
weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with
the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are.
Sometimes people who visit our
churches feel unwelcome. No one notices them or greets them. It sends the wrong
message; be yourself. Be a Christian.
Just as important as planning yet
another evangelistic outreach are the small things that really do help people.
Invite someone over for coffee, offer to babysit, or take a meal to a sick
person. And sometimes the best help of all is just to sit and listen to the
person.
between an open heart
and an open home.
