thequest family,

Love one another. It's not an old thing, it's a new thing too. Last week I jotted down some thoughts from 2 John about it. I challenged us to move into the action of love...not just talk about it.

We talked about it in our house church again tonight. Reminders are good for us. A simple thing happened with one of our gals loved the cake we enjoyed together during the gathering. We joked and joked about it all night. You know that eating together with glad hearts from Acts 2.

Anyway, I ran some folks home and it crossed my mind that I could go around the corner to a store, buy a cake and drop it off at her house. The next thought, was man I'm tired, I want to get home, get the kids to bed and chill. My next thought was how much will it cost me?

Uh-oh. Decision time. Love in words (merely in the meeting) or love in action? The Spirit pricked my heart--better do it. So I turned the car around, went to the store and got the cake and delivered it.

Not a big deal really...some cake, dollars and minutes. But it was an attempt at moving love into action. It was good for me to do it...and not just talk about it. I hope it continues to ooze into tomorrow and into your tomorrow too.

How about you, what's the thing you are being asked by God to do to Love Others around you today?

Do it. Press on,

Mike
