Awake is only 3 weeks away!

Remember, at Awake we will be challenged to wake up to a new way of life—a life that realizes how God see us and how he sees others, a life that is filled with God’s love and compassion!

Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.
John 13:35

Notice what characteristic in our lilves points to Christ—not our morals, our church attendance, our “clean” language, or the time we spend volunteering… it’s our love.

While all these things are important, they don’t mean anything if we don’t truly love people. Let me say that again, they don’t mean anything.

Remember what Paul said in 1 Corinthians…

If I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

I Corinthians 13:2-3

As we prepare for Awake, let’s consider this issue of love…. what does it look like to love like this? How would our lives be different if we were serious about loving others? What opportunities do we have now to share God’s love with others? What is the greatest challenge that keeps us from loving?

Take some time right now to pray that God will help you understand how much he loves you and that he’ll help you love others like he does!
