Read: Ephesians 4:25 – 5:2
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. Ephesians 5:2 KJV
To “Walk in love” simply means that we continually treat one another with kindness.
A kindness, no matter how small, that can make life bearable and better for another person.
With the advancement in technology today, one needs only to send a text or email that can brighten someone’s day.
We have the ability to create and send e-cards with personalized messages.
And there is always our ability to pick up the phone and call to check on the person about whom we are thinking.
We never know how someone is feeling.
How our actions will brighten their day just to know someone was thinking about them.
The feeling of love that is felt.
It only takes a moment to “walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us.”
Remembering that He “hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” (Ephesians 5:2 KJV).
Our obedience yields a life filled with gladness.
This will always be when we know we have done as the Father has told us.
That we have shown unconditional love to each other as He has commanded.
It only takes a moment to be kind.
But just like God’s love for us, what we say or do can last a lifetime to the person receiving it.
Take the time to let someone know that they are in your thoughts and prayers.
And if is someone you may not be able to reach, pray for them just the same.
The Father knows your heart.
He hears our prayers.
Continue to be the picture of Him and show love.
Because God is Love.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Father, we know it is Your command for us to show love to one another. It can be a short phone call, note, voicemail, or text message to someone. Any word prayerfully written or spoken should always show love. We know it has great meaning. Let us take a moment to be kind to someone today. Our contact may be all that is needed to brighten that person’s day. Thank You for being our best example of how to show love.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
