Wives Who Win for Christ: Influencing Your Unsaved Husband Through Discipleship by Dr. Treal Ravenelनमुना

Day 6: Be the Hands and Feet of Jesus

Matthew 25:40 "And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'"

As followers of Christ, we are called to be His hands and feet, serving those in need and making a difference in our communities. In Matthew 25:40, Jesus reminds us that when we serve others, we are serving Him. This calling extends to how you can influence your husband through acts of service and compassion.

Consider a local charity or community project that resonates with you. By inviting your husband to serve alongside you, you create opportunities for both of you to experience the joy of giving back. Witnessing the impact of your service can inspire him to see faith in action, prompting deeper conversations about Christ’s love.

As you engage in service, remember to model the characteristics of Jesus—showing humility, compassion, and grace. Refrain from approaching service with an attitude of supremacy or criticism of other people's circumstances. Instead, let your acts of kindness reflect Christ’s love and inspire your husband to see faith in action.

Application:

Consider a local charity or community service opportunity that resonates with you. You decide to volunteer together, inviting your husband to join you. Perhaps it’s serving meals at a local shelter or participating in a community clean-up. As you serve side by side, you model Christ’s love in action.

During your time volunteering, you encounter people who share their stories, and you both find yourselves moved by their experiences. Afterward, you discuss what you witnessed and how it impacted you. Your husband sees firsthand the joy and fulfillment that comes from serving others, stirring something within him. This shared experience opens his heart to the idea of living out faith through action.

By demonstrating service as an expression of love, you create opportunities for deeper conversations about Jesus' heart for the marginalized and how your faith drives your desire to make a difference.

Devotional Reflection:

Reflect on how serving others has impacted your own faith. How can you involve your husband in acts of service to encourage him to see the heart of Jesus?

Practical Steps:

1. Identify a local charity or community service project that aligns with your values.

2. Invite your husband to join you in serving others, making it a shared experience.

3. After serving, discuss how the experience affected you both, highlighting the importance of serving others in Christ’s name.

Closing Prayer:

"Lord, help me to be Your hands and feet in this world. May my service inspire my husband and draw us both closer to You. Amen."
