“Don’t forget charity and community, because sacrifices are so pleasing to God.” — Hebrews 13:16
A single mother lived next door to an elderly gentleman for more than five years. One day, worried about her welfare, he rang the doorbell of her house. “I haven’t seen you in about a week,” he said, “so I just thought I’d see if you were okay.” His “health check” encouraged the woman. Having lost her father at an early age, she appreciated that this kind man cared for her and her family.

When the kindness we give and receive goes beyond simple courtesy, we serve others by showing them the love of Christ. The author of the Epistle to the Hebrews said that believers in Jesus should always offer “to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of the lips that praise His Name” (Heb. 13:15). Then the author urged the believers to live by faith, saying: “Do not forget charity and community, because sacrifices are so pleasing to God” (v. 16).

It is a pleasure and a privilege to worship Jesus by confessing His Name. However, we show true love for God when we love as Jesus loves. We can ask the Holy Spirit to empower us and empower us to love others. Through this, we will witness to the Lord Jesus Christ through a powerful message of love in action.

How can you share the love of Jesus with someone in a simple and practical way? How can you be more purposeful and consistent in implementing your good intentions?
Dear Jesus, please help me to worship You by showing love to others through the things I say and do every day.
