Being part of His Church happens by simply loving the people God puts before you each day. Be intentional about cultivating friendships, especially with new people...
...Simply loving those around us will open whatever other doors Jesus needs to build His Church. I am convinced that everything God wants done in the world can happen as the simple extension of growing friendships. That will provide fellowship enough, outreach enough, and work enough to let God’s life flow to the world. He said so himself. If we will simply love others like He loves us the whole world will
come to know him. (John 13:34-35)
~ Wayne Jacobsen (Living Loved Newsletter - Winter 2011)
Living the life Christ intended for us to live is simple. Why have so many made this complicated? We must walk through this life with our eyes and our hearts wide awake, loving our brothers and sisters and strangers just as Jesus would, and did. No pretense. No premeditation. No hoopla. Listen to Father's heart, and respond accordingly with obedient hearts seeking to glorify Him alone by loving those he puts in our paths. How sweet it is!
