1 John 3:18
Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed
and in truth.
There is an old adage that states that actions speaker
louder than words. Nowhere is the old
adage more applicable than in our living testimony. No one wants to learn about Jesus from us if
they have not seen Jesus in our lives.
Our greatest orations will never win a soul without a
visible expression in our lives that we are living what we are preaching and
teaching. Let those around us see the
gifts of the Holy Spirit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. When others see these things, they will seek
the source. We will not have to say a
word to entice them.
Jesus understood human nature completely. Thus He labored constantly among the people,
showing them His perfect love and forgiveness.
His living testimony drew people to the message that He had come to
deliver. We can do the same if we labor in deed and in truth.
Let us serve one another and bear one another's burdens. Let us build up one another in faith
and minister to those around us with cheerfulness. Let us draw others to Jesus through our living testimony.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for providing Your Son as a
living example of the way, the truth and the life that You intend for us to
accept and to proclaim. Blessed is the
name of Jesus who surrendered all so that we may be drawn to Him, receive Him
as Our Savior and allow His presence to flow through us to the world around
us. We pray that our lives will become
living testimonies of the One who dwells within us. We ask all these things in the name of the
Prince of Life and Peace, Jesus Christ.
