Visible Love
By Jennifer Waddle, Ministry Development Team
God never meant for love to be invisible.
From the opening pages of Scripture, our magnificent Creator displays His love in ways that are both tangible and unmistakable. Brilliant sunsets coloring the evening sky, scattered stars shining across the heavens, majestic mountains dotted with evergreens. These are the fingerprints of a compassionate God who puts His love on continual display.
His greatest act of love, however, was revealed through the life of His Son. Jesus stepped into our broken world with the most visible love known to mankind. He welcomed little children, healed the sick, and comforted grieving hearts. Ultimately, He died on a wooden cross as a sacrifice of love for the salvation of the entire world.
So, why not pattern our lives after the greatest example ever known? Through intentional acts of kindness, in every-day ways, let’s consider how to be like Jesus in a world that needs visible, tangible love.
When we align our daily lives with the example of Jesus, kindness stops being an abstract concept and becomes a lived reality. Let's make a deliberate choice every day to offer the kind of practical, visible love this world so deeply needs.
· Writing a letter of encouragement to a grieving friend
· Providing a meal for a single mom
· Visiting the elderly in a nearby nursing home
· Volunteering at a children’s hospital
· Pausing to greet someone on the street
Visible love rejoices with those who rejoice and weeps with those who weep. It serves without seeking recognition with a motive to give instead of receive. This is the heart of what we do for our Jewish brothers and sisters, and it’s our continued mission to love openly as an example for the world to see.
In John 13:35, Jesus said, “By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”
So, take a moment to ask yourself: Can the people around me see God’s love? Do I reflect the heart of Jesus in the way I smile, speak, serve, and live? As we pray for guidance on how to love well, may the Lord use us as reflections of His compassionate heart. And may those who encounter us see more than kindness; may they catch a glimpse of Jesus, the One whose perfect love is continually on display.
Prayer: Father, thank You for displaying Your love so clearly in this world. Help me reflect that same love in my words and actions. Give me the courage to love others as You have loved me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
