A little over 2,000 years ago someone named Jesus walked on this earth and gave us some basic “rules” to live by. One of the most famous is called “The Golden Rule.” In this and many other ways Jesus taught us that we should care for one another. We should be nice. We should treat others with courtesy, respect, and even with generosity. So, someone took that idea seriously and decided to do something outrageously nice for you. Simple. Random. Meaningful. What did they do for you? Pay for your meal at a drive thru? Pay for your groceries? Put money in a parking meter for you? It was shocking, wasn’t it? You couldn’t believe what just happened, could you? Why would someone take Jesus’ teaching seriously? I mean, come on, He lived a long time ago, in a different country, a different culture. What does Jesus know about 21st century America? The answer to that is really quite simple – here it is - because, some truths are “timeless.” Who in their right mind would dare say that we don’t need people to act more loving towards each other? Have you watched the news lately? No matter how much things change in this world – we still need love – we still need each other. There is one other truth that is timeless: God loves you. No matter what. He knows all about you and loves you anyway. He knows what you did, what you said, what you thought. It really doesn’t matter. He loves you. AND He wants you to experience that love. |
Someone has experienced God’s love. And they decided to share it with you. They did something crazy, right? Something extravagant…..something generous…..and it surprised you. Here’s another question for you….. Who in their right mind would dare say that they don’t need more love in their life? We all need God’s love. Have you experienced God’s love? If so – maybe you are ready to randomly share that love with someone just like someone shared it with you. If so, click HERE. If not, would you like to? By studying the words of Jesus, you CAN experience it. Millions before you have. You can too. A local church can help you. We won’t endorse or push any type of church on you – but you can click HERE to find a list of churches that are wanting to share God’s love with you. They are participating in the program that you just experienced – random acts of kindness and love. These churches are full of people just like you that are trying to live life following the teachings and the heart of Jesus Christ. |
