Jer. 50,51; 3 John

Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, even though they are strangers to you. They have told the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.                                                 3 John 1:5-6


I spoke on Sunday about the connection between falling in love with God and feeding the sheep of God. Here is the perfect example John says “you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, even though they are strangers to you. They were all about helping to comfort and support those that were passing through their city on their way to do the work and will of the living God. But I want you to notice what the missionarys told the church John says “They have told the church about your love.” Not how much they spent or what they gave them, but about their love. That is what these men noticed the love of the brothers I am telling you the truth if you fall in love with the living God it will rub off on whoever you touch and they will see it. Jesus said “They will know you by your love” and “by this all men will know you are my disciples”. The love for God rubs off. John commends them for sending “them on their way in a manner worthy of God”. What a great statement “in a manner worthy of God”

May God bless you and keep you as you fall in love with Him and as that love extends to everyone you touch may they may say of you I was treated “in a manner worthy of God”.
