Remember the days of show and tell? It was during those early childhood learning days where the teacher would ask us to bring in an item to show to the rest of the class and then we were asked to tell something about it.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples, (if you love one another). John 13:35 NIV
Today's Scripture is somewhat along the lines of show and tell. It is by our actions (show) and it is how we respond to what comes our way, that ALL men (mankind) will know (recognize) the Father (in us). If we possess His characteristics, and love being the ultimate characteristic He showed us in allowing His Son to die for us, we too should be showing that love to those who are hurting and yes, even to those who have hurt us. I know it's a big pill to swallow, but the last time I checked, love covers a multitude of sin. God looked beyond OUR faults and met our spiritual and natural need. Can't we extend that same grace to others?
What does your life SAY/SHOW/TELL?
Your thoughts!
