Love in Action
In Matthew 25:35–36, Jesus says, "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
These words reveal the heart of true faith. Jesus identifies with the needs of the most vulnerable and reminds us that serving others is not optional for His followers. Caring for people in practical ways—feeding the hungry, clothing the needy, or visiting the lonely—reflects God’s love and grace in action.
The passage also reminds us that our service is not about recognition or reward. Jesus’ words show that every act of kindness toward someone in need is seen and valued by Him. When we serve others, we’re serving Him. This truth shifts our perspective, encouraging us to view others with the same compassion that God shows us.
Take a moment to reflect: How can you be a reflection of God’s love today? Small acts of kindness, like checking on a neighbor or supporting a cause, can have an eternal impact when done with a heart of faith and love.
