Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
1 John 3:18
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
John 1:14
If you want to find him, go to the slums. Go to the war zones. Go to the prisons. Strap your leg to Mother Teresa's and step with her into the weak, hurting, and ravaged places of our world.
Joshua Ryan Butler

Reflect
1. Why must love always involve action? How have you seen that play out in your own life?
2. Greg mentioned that people tend to emphasize either helping at home or helping around the world. Which one do you gravitate towards and why?
3. When has someone pulled through for you when you were in a bind?
4. In what ways has Jesus used others to show up and be his presence in your life?
5. How is Jesus calling you to show up in the lives of others this week?
