John 11
SCRIPTURE:
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping; he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. Jesus wept. John 11: 33, 35.
Jesus demonstrated what it looks like to love sacrificially, even shocking his disciples that he was willing to take love for his friends so far.
When Jesus' friend Lazarus died, Jesus responded, despite the personal cost and the danger it put him in. How does his example inspire you to love others?
Has anyone ever loved you sacrificially - given up something important to care for you in some way? How did you feel when you realized what they'd done?
Let the lessons you learn add depth to your living.
Begin to reach out to all those passing by.
A smile given lovingly could be a blessing,
And help someone give something back just one more try.
Reach out through your own pain to someone in crisis,
By touching a hand as you are touching a heart.
You might never know just how your intervention,
Enabled another to make a new start.
So when someone says they can never repay you,
For all you have said, or for all you have done,
Just quietly say there's one way this can happen,
Through sharing a blessing by passing it on.
