The verse I posted above 1 John 3:16, 17 & 18 is describing how to show love. I was just thinking about this, because I wonder how many of us have material things, and sees a brother in need, and does not have pity on them. Instead we turn our head hoping perhaps they don't see us see their need, we ignore the need.
John is not talking about the unbeliever, or a stranger, he is talking about a brother. In this time of our lives when everyone is talking about hard times, are we who have, see the need and having pity. Do we call ourselves christians or do we live like one. Verse-18. Dear children let us not love with words and tongue, but actions and truth!
I think we should be searching out the need. Look around, ask see how our brother and sister are doing, and put love in action.
Just another reality check for myself, and maybe for you too.
