Love and you are a Success!

John 3:16 reminds us, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son…”
One of the great Christian thinkers, William Sloane Coffin, reminded us that while Abraham lived to be a ripe old age, Jesus died young. “But didn’t both show us that it is by its content rather than by its duration that a lifetime is measured? Love and you are a success, whether or not the world thinks so. The highest purpose of Christianity… is to love.”
Love and you are a success! Today, I invite you to reflect on this world that God so loves. Are there places or people in the world around you who might need a little extra measure of that love right now? How might you show that love in those places or to those people most in need?
Let us pray: God of Hope, we praise you for your unconditional love, mercy and grace. You give and you give and you give. We want to be the kind of people who give with you. We want to be the kind of people who make a positive difference in the lives others. So, we ask you to heal us where we need healing, challenge us where we need to be challenged. Open our eyes to the need around us, and show us how we might reflect your love. Amen.
