SSJE: Serving Others in Love

Today’s Question: Where have you seen Love in Truth and Action?

Today’s Scripture from 1 John 3:17-18 tells us that just talking about loving others isn’t good enough; we must respond with action.

I think I can confuse “busyness” with action. If I am constantly on the go, serving others through my church or volunteer work in my community, isn’t that love? Br. Keith talks about vulnerability in today’s video and how real love involves risks.

This is a hard concept for me to grasp. I live on a platform of calculated risks, but Br. Keith refers to a different kind of love: “that ‘let-it-all-go’ kind of love of Jesus.

I’m not there yet, but I would like to be.

Please enter the discussion: Where have you see Love in Truth and Action?
