Hebrews 6:10 God
is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as
you have helped His people and continue to help them. (NIV)
One of the greatest ways
we can show God’s love is to help others. Most churches have faithful people
who serve and worship God by compassionately – and very often quietly – supporting
others who are undergoing hard times, health issues, and other problems. As a
pastor, I am constantly amazed and encouraged by kindhearted people who live
their lives lovingly. They make the world a better place and do a lot for the
well-being of the local community with their good works, generosity, and
empathy. Their faith is very down-to-earth and highly practical; in God’s eyes,
their good works are commendable and memorable which is plainly expressed in
today’s highlighted Bible verse.
Application Q: What
good can I do today? Who can I encourage and support at this time?
Prayer: Lord Jesus, You
showed God’s love by healing people who were hurt, comforting those who were
grieving, and restoring those who were lost. Your compassion displayed the
goodness of God’s Kingdom in the world. Help us to do all that we can to follow
in your footsteps today. In Your Holy Name, we pray. Amen.
