POWERFUL LOVE

What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but
don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?
– James 2:14 NLT 

Mother Teresa was not just a person. She was a type and a symbol in our generation. Her selflessness affected our very culture, and she became a worldwide symbol of grace and virtue. She was known to have a great love for people.

Jesus said, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” Therefore, Mother Teresa represents a disciple of Christ, and as a nun, she symbolizes the bride of Christ.

Sometimes, I get criticized because I don’t say things just to please other people. Neither did Mother Teresa. Once, when talking to the nuns at her convent, she said, “If you don’t have zeal to help the poor, to take care of the leper, you should pack up and go home, for you have no reason to stay.”

I saw this headline, “Mother Teresa, Friend to the Lowliest Dies” and thought that same headline would describe how Jesus lived while He walked the earth.  He waded into a sea of human beings, moved among them, met them where they were, loved them fiercely, and touched and healed them all.

Leanna and I travel to bring Jesus to hurting people all over the globe, and we see things that are hard to see and hard to deal with. I call it a terrible privilege. It is terrible to see the circumstances, but it is a privilege to be trusted by Jesus to go there and serve those living there. Mother Teresa served with that same privilege.

Mother Teresa was an example of what Jesus says in John 15, Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.

She said, “I realized that I had a call to take care of the sick and the dying, the hungry, the naked, and the homeless to be God’s love in action to the poorest of people.”

She knew she was set aside to love and was clear about how to do that. What about you? Today is a good day to reflect on where God wants you to pour His love into the world around you.

Declaration:   Jesus loved me when I was unlovable and poured His love into me. He has given me the ministry of reconciliation so I can bring that love to the world. There is no greater honor than to love Him, love people, and serve Him as I serve people.
