FEED THEM WITH LOVE

“If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?”

James 2: 15, 16 King James Version

If we see people who are hungry and don’t feed them, it will be impossible to prove to them that Jesus loves them. It is the same with people who are hurting and desperately need to know that someone cares about them. If we don’t put our arms around them and hug them for Jesus, all our words are in vain. When we see people that are cold because they don’t have the proper clothes, if we don’t make sure they have warm clothes, all the preaching in the world won’t convince them that Jesus loves them.

We must put action to our words. It is not enough to tell someone that Jesus loves him or her; we need to prove it to that person by our actions. Jesus is Love! We must feed people the love of Jesus so they not only will know that He loves them, they will want Him as their personal Saviour. There are many cold and lonely hearts that desperately need the touch of warmth from our Saviour.

Has there been a time in your life when you were discouraged and needed someone to remind you that Jesus loves you? If so, then you know how painful it is to feel like you’re all alone with a heavy burden. If we want people to encourage and love us, then we must also encourage and love them. There are too many one sided relationships in this world. We must treat others as we want to be treated. Are you feeding your family, loved ones and friends the love of Jesus? Do they see Jesus living in you?
