“Do everything in love.” 1 Corinthians 16:14

It is always interesting how a single word can change a person, an attitude, an event, anything. And as I read 1 Corinthians 16:14, I keep on asking myself, how? If you look around, if you read or watch the news, you’ll keep on asking where is love? why they keep on fighting? killing? hating each other.” Sometimes you’ll just lost hope, hope that you’ll find that love that Jesus Christ is telling us. But as I keep in reading the verse, I was reminded of the greatest commandment: “Love your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength (Mark 12:30)” and “Love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12: 31).” There is no “they” or “him” or “her” it says “YOUR” which means God is saying it’s you. It’s me. We don’t need to adapt what the world is telling or showing us. It starts within us. We have to do everything in love. As we eat, as we sleep, as we talk to friends, family or even strangers and people we don’t like. The world is crazy. The world is full of hatred, and it is our job to show love in the simplest way. It starts in us and we’ll never know and we don’t need to know that our simple act of kindness can change someone else’s life.
