The team needs you to be the best coach ever. Your boss needs you to go above and beyond your job description. The kids need you to be super mom. Your spouse wants you to read her mind. Your church wants you to be fully involved in every program.
By the time the week ends you’re exhausted, only to wake up and realize it’s time do it all again.
One of the characteristics of Jesus that constantly amazes me was His ability to be and do what everyone needed Him to be and do.
When people needed compassion, He had plenty of it.
When people needed firm teaching, He taught with authority.
When people needed to know they were loved, He loved them lavishly.
When people were hungry, He fed them.
When people needed to be forgiven, He forgave them.
When people needed a Savior, He died on a cross.
When people needed hope, He rolled the stone away and came out of the tomb.
All those things He did while He walked the earth, and all those things He still does.
Why? Because He loves us, and He wants us to do the same. He wants us to love like He loves.
We love because he first loved us. Because He loves us we can love others. (1 John 4:19)
We cannot do everything and be everything that Jesus did and does. Our human tendencies are often more powerful than His Spirit that dwells within us. But, we can do one thing well and consistently as Jesus did. We can love people like Jesus did. Let’s do that.
This week let’s just love like Jesus loves and see what happens…
