Aren’t people wonderful? I know, I know…sometimes certain people can really mess things up….but for today, let’s focus on the beautiful intentions and contributions of so many!
Watching the news this week, hearing the stories, seeing the rescue efforts after the devastation of Hurricane Helene, I marvel at the many types of first responders God has created for times like these. People who are not afraid. People who give up comfort to assist. People who share talents and strengths and wisdom. People who give. And give. And give.
God in His Word requires us to love our neighbors. Aaaaand love our enemies. He sums it up in one statement: Love one another. Period.
“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another.” Romans 12:9-16
