With YouSample

[IMAGE CONTENT] "Treat others the way you want to be treated," is probably a lesson you learned when you were young, and for good reason! But this isn't just good advice on how to be a nice person. This is actually the foundation of loving others — something Jesus commands us to do. He tells us to love others like we love ourselves. And for those of us who follow Jesus, he also tells us to love others like we love God. John, one of Jesus' disciples, makes this even clearer when he tells us it's actually not possible to love God if we don't love others. If we don't love the people around us, it's proof that we don't really love God. If we say we love others, but don't actually do anything to act with love, then all we have are empty words. Love isn't about warm, fuzzy feelings. Love isn't something that happens in your head or even in your heart. Love is something that must be demonstrated in your actions. Jesus demonstrated his love for you not just by saying it over and over again, but by giving up his life and dying for you. You probably won't need to go that far to show someone love, but what do you think God might be asking you to do? What's one way you've been shown love through someone's actions? Who is someone you can love with your actions today?
