The Greatest Love We Can Show to Others

When life gets busy, the greatest love we can show to others is not just a feeling, but a choice to put others first. As Christians, we are called to love one another as Christ has loved us (John 15:12). This love is not just a romantic love, but a love that transcends relationships and goes beyond our immediate family and friends. It is a love that is willing to surrender and put others before ourselves.

This kind of love is not just a feeling, but a choice to serve and put others first. We can show this love to others in many ways, such as through acts of kindness, serving one another, and being considerate of others' needs. As Thomas Kelly said, "The Loving Presence does not burden us equally with all things, but considerately puts upon each of us just a few central tasks, as emphatic responsibilities." We can also show love to others through our words, by speaking words of encouragement and affirmation.

In a world that often prioritizes individual happiness and fulfillment above all else, it is easy to get caught up in our own needs and desires. But as Christians, we are called to a higher standard. We are called to love others as ourselves, and to put their needs before our own. This is not always easy, but it is a choice that we can make every day. As we put others first and choose to love them, we will find that our love for others will overflow in a limitless geyser up to God and out to others. We will find that our relationships will be truly personal, intimate, and fulfilling, and that we will experience the blessings of abiding joy, genuine satisfaction, and pure allure.
