Daily Word: Love with Hands and Feet. 1 John 3:18

Children, let us not love with word or talk, but in deed and truth!  1 John 3:18, TLV

 

Love with Hands and Feet.       Does this verse seem familiar? It is a recurring theme throughout scriptures—even and especially the Torah (the first five books of the Bible).

You are not to take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am ADONAI [the LORD]. Leviticus 19:18, TLV

But if someone has material possessions and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him? (vs. 17, TLV)

Walking out our Heavenly Father’s love means, well, walking it out. And that means every single redeemed child. Just using words, even when those words are truth, doesn’t hold the real truth: Love moves. Love has hands and feet, not just a mouth.

We have an opportunity to see, even watch for, those who need our time, resources, and love. Because, before Yeshua’s [Jesus’] redemption, we were the needy ones. So, out of love and gratitude, let’s ask our Dad how we can walk out His love.

Think More About It

How do you walk out love at home? In your congregation? In your neighborhood? Love hearing your thoughts and testimonies.

Until tomorrow, may we be the hands and feet of Jesus.

 

Praying for Israel

Blessed be ADONAI [the LORD],
for He has shown me His wonderful love
in a besieged city.
I said in my alarm,
“I have been cut off from Your sight!”
But You heard the sound of my pleas
when I cried out to You.” Psalm 31:22-23, TLV

LORD, hear the sound of our pleas on behalf of Israel and those still in tortuous captivity. Hear our pleas on behalf of those who have lost loved ones through this horrible war and acts of terror. Show us Your wonderful love, in Yeshua’s Name. Amen.
