Who can you show love to today?

Romans 15 encourages us to please our neighbor. In other words, we should be kind to them and love them.

Why?

We don’t do it for their praise or so they owe us one. We do it because it helps them and builds them up. We do it because God first loved us and so we can share God’s love with them. We do it because God loves them.

This is a pretty simple verse and I’d like to keep today’s devotional simple as well. God showed you love for your own good and He continues to build you up in Christ. This frees you to love others as Christ loved you.

Take a few minutes and think about who you can show love to today. Then do it. Write a note of encouragement. Help them out in some way. Whatever it is, do it just to show them love and encourage them.

Heavenly Father,

You have loved me more than I can even comprehend. Help me to love others.

Amen.
