Daily Meditation: Burning With Love

Friday August 10, 2012       Burning With Love   Often we are preoccupied with the question "How can we be witnesses in the Name of Jesus?  What are we supposed to say or do to make people accept the love that God offers them?"  These questions are expressions more of our fear than of our love.   Jesus shows us the way of being witnesses.  He was so full of God's love, so connected with God's will, so burning with zeal for God's Kingdom, that he couldn't do other than witness.  Wherever he went and whomever he met, a power went out from him that healed everyone who touched him.  (See Luke 6:19.)   If we want to be witnesses like Jesus, our only concern should be to be as alive with the love of God as Jesus was.     Comment on this Daily Meditation.   Visit our website for inspiration, resources, news, events, community.
