Show love

1john 4:7-12

Have you ever been sitting outside on your front porch on a hot day and you have a breeze brush over your face or on the beach and the wind comes rushing over your skin. It feels good doesn't it? Or even this week while driving in the van.  It's  cool and refreshing.  You can't see it but you can feel it. Do you remember a time when you saw a child open a gift on gift on Christmas morning and as they tear the paper the beams of joy gleams across  their face. You can see the  affects of emotion...joy.  It's the same as the passage is talking about that no one has seen God, but people have seen the affects of Him and his goodness. It says God is love and that is how we are to be known. by the same love that God has shown us.

 So as we go out and love others, as they are ,no strings attached ( because thats what christ did for us while were yet still in sin christ loved us) let us exhibit the qualities of the love of Christ.  So as you have conversations may you feel refreshed with uplifting words as you share in each others lives. As you dig ditches, tell children stories, and pray about the day may we be overwhelmed with Christ love for you and for others. And as we bring fresh water to these people may we also bring the amazing hope and love that god has given us.

 Because you can't physically hold it in your hands but you can feel it. We have the amazing opportunity to share hope with others that everyone gets a chance to be apart of he kingdom and God doesn't want anyone to be shut out from his love. So as we work,play and pray this week, and even as we go back to our homes may we reflect gods love and may we be the cool breeze that brushes up against others.
