“For whom the LORD loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.” Proverbs 3:12

Amanda woke up feeling hung over and dizzy… again.  She went to clubs every night.  And got drunk to hide her emotional pain.  She didn’t enjoy waking up like that, but thought, “What else am I supposed to do?”

Amanda claimed to have given her life to Jesus, but her actions didn’t reflect it.  In spite of the way she lived, the girls in her Bible study showered her with God’s love.  One night, Amanda told the group she was not going to the clubs anymore and had stopped drinking.   She realized what it meant to live her life for Jesus and not waste it in the clubs.  And later, Amanda even led one of her friends to Christ!

Dear friend, if there is someone in your life who seems far from God, shower them with His love.

Mother Daughter Caring Support

Have you ever heard anyone gossip about someone you know? “Well, I heard that she. . .”  “Oh, but didn’t you know that he. . .”  Then all of a sudden it’s your turn. What do you have to say? Here’s what love says: 1 Peter 4:8 says “Love covers a multitude of sins.” Love doesn’t expose. It doesn’t gossip. If love says anything, it speaks words of protection.

Do you know anyone who needs protection? Of course you do. Then give some. Pay a gas bill for a struggling elderly couple. Make sure your divorced friends are invited to parties. Promise your kids that, God being your helper, they will never know a hungry day or a homeless night. In Matthew 25:4 Jesus says, “I tell you the truth, anything you did for even the least of my people here, you also did for me!”
