"The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."
"FAITH EXPRESSES ITSELF THROUGH LOVE!"
Works count for nothing, if they are not influenced by Love!
Love has to be the driving force behind your actions!
Or your actions become mere spectacles!
I knew a brother recently, that was very outspoken about his faith in Christ. For about a year, he was always seeking to involve himself in ministry due to his love for souls. He helped out wherever he could & whenever he was needed! He drove for hours to pick up furniture, Bibles, handbooks, tracts, reprogrammed computers for the church, he helped people with their financial needs never expecting anything in return!
Why, you may ask?
"FAITH EXPRESSES ITSELF THROUGH LOVE!"
This weekend, I had the awesome opportunity of ministering with this man & his wife at a nursing home for the elderly.
Once again, he poured himself out in a humble way among the elderly. He sang hymns & shared a brief testimony of how Jesus had transformed his life & how he would spend eternity with the Lord due to his faith in Christ.
Then, he encouraged the group to invite Jesus into their hearts!
Afterwards, he went around shaking everyone's hands & hugging them while he spoke encouraging words to them on a personal level.
Oh, did I mention that he had never been to a nursing home in his life, much less spoken publicly!
"FAITH EXPRESSES ITSELF THROUGH LOVE!"
Yesterday, the Lord decided to take our good brother home.
His name was George!
We can not understand God's reasoning, but we were blessed to have such a great example of:
"FAITH EXPRESSING ITSELF THROUGH LOVE!"
See you on the other side George! Please pray for his wife & fam.
ETERNITY IS BEFORE HIM NOW!
