Look out for the interests of others

Dearly beloved. I trust this finds you well and bubbling in the Lord. One of the hallmarks of being a Christian is love. God Himself is Love and through Love He pours out His blessings, mercies, forgiveness, and grace to us. As His children too, we demonstrate His love in our relationship with others. Child of God, let’s look out for other people, not just ourselves. The world can be dark, lonely, and harsh but we can shine our light in it in being kind to others and letting glory go to God. Amen.

Scriptural References

“Those who are loved by God, let his love continually pour from you to one another, because God is love. Everyone who loves is fathered by God and experiences an intimate knowledge of him. The one who doesn’t love has yet to know God, for God is love.” 1 John 4v7-8 (TPT)

“Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others.” Philippians 2v4 (AMPC)

“Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance.” 1 Corinthians 13v4 (TPT)

 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You so much for this day. Thank You for the love You have shown to us. We glorify You. We pray that we in turn will show love to others even as You our Father loves. May all the glory be to You in Jesus name, amen.
