Keep your eyes open, hold tight to your convictions, give it all you've got, be resolute, and love without stopping."
1 Corinthians 16: 13, 14, The Message.
If you want to change your world, love without stopping.
What does love like this look like? It means choosing to love and give love always. It's not necessarily a feeling but the act of loving. It's action. It's a choice.
If we loved without stopping, the world would be a different place. There was a group once that took these words seriously:
The believers studied what the apostles taught. They shared life together. They broke bread and ate together. And they prayed. Everyone felt that God was near. The apostles did many wonders and miraculous signs. All the believers were together. They shared everything they had. They sold what they owned. They gave each other everything they needed. Every day they met together in the temple courtyard. In their homes
they broke bread and ate together. Their hearts were glad and honest
and true. They praised God. They were respected by all the people. Acts 2:42-47, NIRV
The result was that God added to their group every day. People found hope, health, community, healing, joy and most of all a relationship with God.
