In our interaction with others—whether as an employer, employee, in our homes or communities—we can ask God to help us do what’s “right and fair”

Masters, treat your servants considerately. Be fair with them. Don’t forget for a minute that you, too, serve a Master—God in heaven.

Colossians 4:1

Stories of those willing to offer sacrificial love always inspire us. Yet they pale in comparison to God’s great love. But don’t miss the challenge that brings, for Jesus commands: “Love each other as I have loved you” (John 15:12). Yes, love all.

Loving God, please help me to love as You love me.

It’s not being loved by all but loving all that’s the greatest love!

He was loved by all—those were the words used to describe Don Guiseppe of Casnigo, Italy. Don was a beloved man who rode around town on an old motorbike and always led with the greeting: “peace and good.” He worked tirelessly on behalf of the good of others. But in the last years of his life, ...
