Isn’t it funny how we can take a couple of words, put them together in reverse order and convince ourselves that we are fulfilling their meaning? Who is God putting on your heart to reach out to today? Give them a call or stop by and let them know you’re thinking about them.

Here’s something you may not be aware about yourself, you like it when someone walks up and shows they are interested in you. Sure it might seem a bit awkward for a second but that will quickly pass as you see that they truly want to know you. This is especially true when you are in an unfamiliar environment. Being made to feel welcome is a powerful introduction to being loved. Also, you’re not the only one that enjoys being reached out to, in fact almost everyone does so there is no reason to be afraid, chances are really good they are going to welcome you right back. When we’re in comfortable places this week, let’s look for those that may not be at ease and help include them.

Some people are harder to love, they need it the most. Loving those that love you is easy but loving those that can’t or don’t love you back is a more magnificent thing. We can’t love in order to get it back, that’s not love at all. We love because we already are perfectly loved by God and out of the abundance of His love we can reach out to those that make it hard.
