Look outside

Have you looked outside recently, outside the safety of your home? It is uncomfortable, isn't it? The world is scary, with so much rebellion and hatred all around and no one taking responsibility for their actions.
But I the Lord, took responsibility for their actions, bore all that sin, and took the punishment for it, yet they do not know it. I know you want to be safe; sometimes, it is easy to hide away and cover yourself with your safety blanket. But aren't you stifling the light inside of you? Small acts of love are all I require, and I will do the rest. Can you do that? Love covers a multitude of sins, and this is what I ask you to do: to love your neighbour as yourself. I know you can; I know how much pleasure that has brought you in the past, and it pleases me, too. So, respond to those nudges I am giving you, and go and bless your neighbour. That simple act of love may result in their salvation.

Activation: Ask the Lord where you can spread his love to those around you; step out in faith, and he will not disappoint you.
"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16
And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins." Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. 10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Peter 4:8-10
