Loving Others and Loving God

³⁴ Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
³⁵ For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
³⁶ Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
³⁷ Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
³⁸ When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
³⁹ Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. KJV Matthew 25:34-40


So, Jesus is saying here that what we do unto others, we are truly doing to Him, our Father, who loves us with a love beyond anything we've known before. It is an endless love, totally selfless and unconditional. So, how do we want to treat our Father in Heaven? Do we want to love, serve and obey Him with all our hearts, minds and souls? How we love people is how we are loving Him, right now. So, how can we better love others? There are endless ways in which to love. Sometimes it is just being there for someone to lend an ear to listen. Sometimes it is by praying for them. What about the people who have less than we do? The ones who have no family to care for them, or who have no home to live in? We can feed and clothe them and share with them all that God has given to us. We can freely love them, unconditionally, with all our hearts. There are so many avenues to serve in and so many different kinds of ministries. God has blessed us all with gifts given to us solely for the purpose of sharing them with others. What are your gifts? The gift of teaching? Counseling? Music? Healing? Whatever your gifts may be, don't be afraid to use them or allow them to collect dust, for they were only given to us to be given away to others. There are countless numbers of needy people in this world. We can't go out alone and help all of them, but we can each help those whom God places in our lives, and in that way, we all truly are our brothers' and sisters' keepers. This is what God wants us to do after all, to do His Will and share His Love. The greatest way to share His Love is to share His Gospel of Truth and Grace with others, that they may be made free in the Lord as well. However God chooses to accomplish that in your life is a beautiful and divine gift. God bless you all my brothers and sisters in Christ. 

36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. KJV Matthew 22:36-40
