   Love this quote: ” We cannot show the world God’s love if we do not truly love the people in our world.”

   I was particularly helped by Eric’s following paragraph:

   As followers of Jesus, we have been “set apart” and “sent out.” We are “set apart” in our behavior, and “sent out” in our relationships. The more religious we become the more these ideas become reversed. We end up being “set apart” in our relationships, and “sent out” from those we are to love and serve. We are “set apart” in how we relate to others, not to whom we relate.

   How often have I reversed God’s intended plan for me to mix with the world and display Christ’s character! Instead I pull away from them and thereby prevent them from seeing His light in my life…
