Last week one of my children came down with it and, of course, needed to stay home and isolate. I was glad because she tends to push the envelope a bit, and I knew that she would be forced to rest!
But the other part of me was concerned because she lives in a different town, and I wanted to be there and feed her and make sure she was OK.
I needed to have at least SOMEONE there to be my hands and feet...I needn't have worried as on her story feed came pictures of food being dropped off to her many times over.
At one point, I said to her, "Tell your friends I love them!"
Then the penny dropped.
Jesus said, "the least you have done to these, you have done to me."
He needs at least SOMEONE to be His hands and feet.
It's so easy to tell God we love Him, sing those songs, and raise our hands.
It's hollow when we don't care for the people around us.
If we say we love Him, He says, "Prove it!"
Be the hands and feet of Jesus for at least SOMEONE today. I don't pretend to be like Jesus, but I know that when we love people, it warms His heart, and His instinctive response may well be, to that person, "Tell your friends I love them!"
Until next time...
