"LOVE One Another As I Have Loved You."

Love's ministry
(J.R. Miller, "Help for the Day")

"GOD anointed JESUS of Nazareth 
with the HOLY SPIRIT and with 
power. HE went about doing good." 
Acts 10:38

There is need everywhere for love's 
ministry. The world today needs 
nothing more than true Christlikeness 
in those who bear CHRIST'S name 
and represent HIM. CHRIST went 
about  doing good; HE sought to 
put hope and cheer into all HE met.

We should strive to perpetuate
this CHRIST-ministry of love
in this world. Hearts are breaking
with sorrow, men are bowing under
burdens too heavy for them. Duty is
too large, the battles are too hard.

It is our mission to do for these
weary, overwrought, defeated,
and despairing ones--
what CHRIST HIMSELF
would do if HE were standing
where we stand. HE wants us
to represent HIM; and HE fills us
with HIS SPIRIT, that we may
be able to scatter the blessings
of helpfulness and gladness
all about us. 

Yet one of the saddest things 
about life is, that, with so much
power to help others by kindliness
of word and kindliness of act--
many of us pass through the world
in silence or with folded hands.

"A new command I give you: LOVE
one another. As I have loved you--
so you must love one another. By
this all men will know that you are
MY disciples, if you love one another."
John13:34-35
