The Messenger LOVE DEEPLY FROM THE HEART By Lakan Mariano John kept on and on. He had found out that Rob, the newest guy in our group, did not have any formal background in church work. “So you're making the church pay you while you learn the ropes?” Everyone in the van knew it was more an accusation than a question. The atmosphere in the van was becoming intolerable. Finally, Glendene, the group leader, told John to be quiet. When we arrived at Texas Women University in Denton, Texas where we were attending a conference, John and Rob were assigned the same room. Which was interesting because John was hobbling on crutches with a broken foot. Rob helped John with his suitcase to get to their room. We saw them in the cafeteria where Rob would carry John's tray. When they went to their sessions Rob carried John's bag. The whole time we were there Rob took care of John. It would have been easy for Rob to simply ignore John and not help him. And for most people that would be understandable. But that is not the way for believers in Jesus Christ. While we can still speak tit-for-tat, the language of the world, we have been given a new nature that allows us to speak God's language, the language of love. To seek what is best for another person, even one who has hurt you. “Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart” (1 Peter 1:22). Loving someone who has hurt you deeply from the heart is an impossible task when you let your emotions rule you. But when we take to heart that Christ has given us a new life in him, and this new life is what gives us the ability to truly love, even one who has hurt you, then you can take the steps to seek what is best for that person. Your new nature in Christ is what will make you love deeply, from the heart. In This Issue From the Pastor AWANA Clubs Events & Upcoming Dates
“Love one another deeply, from the heart. Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God’s living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself!” (1 Peter 1:22-23, MSG). ~Lakan
