As followers of Christ, we are instructed to live by these simple commandments: to love God and to love each other. Sometimes the word “mission” makes us think of mission trips overseas to serve a third-world country by supplying resources and Bibles. While those mission trips are good acts, “mission” doesn’t have to be complicated. “Mission” doesn’t only have to be an elaborate trip to help those in need globally; there are also plenty of people in need within our own community. And our mission isn’t just to provide them with resources, but also to love and care for them. What are some ways you can serve AND love your neighbors this week?
Loving God, we love You with every fiber in our being. We are humble recipients of Your love and we live everyday as a testament of Your grace. Use us to minister to those around us, and not just to provide them with resources, but to love them the way You do. We pray they will feel the warmth of Your embrace and feel that they belong in Your kingdom. May we remember that we are not saviors, but merely humble servants of You, our true Savior. May our words and actions bring glory to Your name. Amen.
