My concern

Nowadays,there are concerns about the environment. Global warming is considered a threat to the planet. Then there is the failing economy; people are losing money. But as a Bible believing Christian, my own concern is my relationship with my fellow Christians and the people who are outside the faith. Am I too self centered to get involved with them? Is my heart hardened against those in need? Am I bitter and unforgiving? Am I at all prejudiced?
My responsibilities are clear: I am to draw people to the faith and teach them how to maintain that faith. I can’t do that unless my own faith is strong and vibrant. I can’t let the negative influences of the world around me or my own difficulties to hinder that faith. Whether I am healthy and prosperous should have no bearing on whether I am generous and loving. I can have little and still give. I can hurt, but still have a good attitude.

Only Jesus can help me with my relationships. I am powerless to love on my own. But with God’s power I can be a success at those relationships. Love is God’s nature, and can also be mine when I surrender my selfishness. His love is such a gift that I cannot refuse. Could you?
