It
is by this one measure that everyone will know that you are mine – if you love
one another. (John 13:35)
Do
other people see love in your actions? How about your people? Could someone
who observed the people who represent you see them loving others? Take stock.
Gather your lists of people (customers, vendors, employees, friends). How many of
these could you say that you and your people love?
During
His last Passover meal with His closest followers; those who would soon be
leading His church, Jesus gave one instruction. He said, “Love one another.”
Then, for more clarity, he explained that this will be the measure of
their devotion to Him. Time has proved this counsel to be true. From the time
of those disciples to this present day, there have been many people who have opposed
everything about the church. But, those same opponents, when they observe uncommon
acts of unselfish love, find themselves drawn to that love. Whatever your
business, wherever you work, and with whomever you relate each day, love should
be your primary measure.
Make
love for others your primary measure, and watch for the change that will come.
