People on His Mind

People on His Mind

Many years ago now, I heard a pastor reflecting on Jesus’ love for people. He said, “You know how Ray Charles had Georgia on his mind? Always singing about Georgia. Couldn’t get it off his heart. Well, just like Ray Charles had Georgia on his mind, Jesus had people on his mind, people on his heart.”

It’s true. His whole life, his whole ministry was given to loving people – to serving them, healing, teaching, eating with them, offering hope and forgiveness and peace, and ultimately even dying for them. It’s beautiful. Even the grave couldn’t stop his love for people. It continues today. And it extends even now – to you and me. 

Let us pray: Loving God, thank you for loving us unconditionally. Give us today, hearts to love you, minds to know you, and wills to follow you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
