We talked
last week about especially loving and helping fellow believers. Not only can it
attract non-believers, but God notices and will reward it.
Matthew 10:42 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one
of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person
will certainly not lose their reward.”
Hebrews
6:10-12 10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love
you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help
them. 11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very
end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. 12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those
who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
God notices
and promises to reward those who love and help fellow believers.
I was
thinking how much joy I get watching my kids help each other, hug each other,
give gifts to each other, especially when it’s their own idea. Last week, they
both wanted to give a Valentine to each other. Sarah filled out a card for
James while he was at school and James ordered a “candy” card from school for
Sarah with his own money!
Similarly,
God is pleased when we love, help and encourage our brothers and sisters in
Christ! We love on Him as we love on each other.
How will you
and I show love to God by helping or encouraging a fellow believer this week?
