Show Love to Those Around You When You're Feeling Tired

As a Christian, you're called to love others even when you're feeling tired. It's not always easy, but it's a crucial part of living out your faith. When you're feeling drained, it's natural to want to withdraw and focus on yourself. However, this can actually make it harder to show love to those around you. Instead, try to find ways to be present and engaged with others, even if it's just for a few minutes a day.

One way to do this is to prioritize quality time with loved ones. This might mean putting away your phone and having a conversation with your spouse or child, or taking a walk with a friend. Even small moments of connection can make a big difference in someone's life. As the Bible says, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs" (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). When you're feeling tired, it's easy to get frustrated or irritable, but taking a deep breath and choosing to love others can make all the difference.

Ultimately, showing love to those around you when you're feeling tired requires a willingness to put others before yourself. This might mean sacrificing some of your own needs or desires, at least for a little while. But as the Bible says, "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2). By choosing to love others even when you're feeling tired, you're not only showing them God's love, but you're also fulfilling your own calling as a follower of Christ. So, even when you're feeling exhausted, remember that love is always worth it. Take a deep breath, put on a smile, and show the world what it means to love like Jesus.
