The Heart To Live For Fellow Men

Posted by Edwin Joseph in God's Message Today on 07 18th, 2009 | Comments

When I was young, it’s not my type to read devotional books since it made me feel bored at most times. But it’s funny to realize that now that I’ve grown up, I made myself busy with those kinds of books. Why? Just for the reason that it gives me different perspectives from different levels of christian faith.

Early this morning, I was able to browse “God’s Little Devotional Book“. I guess it was intended for the youth but it truly touched my heart. It says, “What a difference it would make in the world if every believer were to give himself with his whole heart to live for his fellow men.“

Most of the time, we live for ourselves disregarding the fact that many unbelievers need us. Though we know that we are called to “make disciples among the nations”, unfortunately even our neighbors never hear “God” from us, right? It may be too harsh for me to say, but I guess sometimes we really don’t give much care for other people because what’s important to us is that we are saved.

“The heart of living with our fellow men is not just about sharing God’s love. It’s also sharing with people our hug, smiles, encouragements, blessings and love.“

I still remember watching a concert of “Tobymac“. He is a very well known artist worldwide whether for christians or non-christians. At first, I thought that probably he just really likes having concert and composing songs. To my great surprise, he in fact is serving God and shares his love on his concerts.

In the midst of his Portable Sounds concert, he spoke and share a bit of God’s Word saying, “No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in union with us, and his love is made perfect in us.” I John 4:12. It was truly inspiring to be reminded that we should not live for our own.

Always Remember:
As christians, we ought to share everything that God has provided us. Living a christian life is removing the selfish attitudes within us thus developing our loving character for other people.

God found all sacrifices meaningless and even abhorrent if the offerer failed in obedience to His laws. Rebellion is equated to the sin of witchcraft and stubbornness to iniquity and idolatry.
