LOVE OVERCOMES OBJECTIONS

Ever wonder what was going through Jesus’s mind as He washed the feet of Judas? A man He chose, taught, ministered to, and loved, but knew He would soon betray Him? Since He was tempted like we are, He must have thought about skipping Judas, or waiting until he left. What would I have done? Would I have seen past the betrayal? Would I have overcome objections and chosen to love?

As Christians, we are called to be like Christ and reflect His love in all that we do. That task is easier when people are lovable and kind, but not when they aren't. People you have chosen, trusted, and loved will fail you. That's tough! How will you react? Will you choose to forgive and love unconditionally like Jesus? That my friends is the challenge because we can ask the Holy Spirit to help us follow the example of Jesus.

Today, I encourage you to search your heart. Who is God challenging you to love, forgive, and serve? How can you follow Christ’s example to walk in the fullness He has for you?

Prayer:

Jesus, thank you for humbling yourself to serve. Help me to love, serve, and forgive in the same manner. Teach, guide, and forgive me when I fall short. May I be a reflection of your love to a world in desperate need of a savior. Amen.
