"And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing." -I Corinthians 13:3 (NASB)
There are times when people try to quantify or measure "goodness" based on what they give or give up. Some people will even try to "one up" each other to show how good they are. If we give just for show or just to feel good, then we are missing the point!
As we move through life, we are called by God to do good and to spread love in His name. We can go through the motions and donate money, things, or time because we think it is the right thing to do or because we are trying show how good we are to those around us. If we do these things, but do not have love, then our actions are not fully realized. When our actions are rooted in sharing God's love, then we can know that they will have an impact far beyond anything we can do on our own - for others and for ourselves!
Keep your actions rooted in God's love and be amazed at the impacts!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and enabling me to share Your love with others. Help me to always act out of love. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
