--Let God's Love Show Through You

Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
--(John 13:5)

I remember several years ago in Florida when a fellow minister set up an appointment with me, but I didn’t know what it was about because he wouldn’t tell my secretary. He just said it was critical that he see me.

So he came into my office, and I noticed he had a bowl, a towel, and some water. And he walked in and said, “Jack, I’ve said some things about you that I’m ashamed of. I’ve been critical of you with fellow ministers. I want you to know that I’m sorry and I want you to forgive me. I’ve come to wash your feet.”

I didn’t want to let him to do it. I said, “No, No, that’s alright. I accept your apology.” He said, “Please.” I felt so ashamed… foolish… and a little odd. But that fellow minister washed my feet right there in my office. To this day, it stands out as one of the highlights of my ministry career, and I’ll never forget that act of love.

Maybe today you need to do something radical to show others you love them. Maybe there’s a broken relationship that you need to start mending with a phone call. Maybe you need to show someone you love you appreciate them in a big way. Whomever and whatever it is, let them know today how much you appreciate them!

-LET GOD’S LOVE SHINE THROUGH YOU TODAY BY SHOWING SOMEONE THAT YOU CARE FOR THEM IN A BIG WAY.
