Loving others does not depend on our feelings it's a choice we make

 The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Don't Toss Away Your Responsibility!

Apathy is widespread in America. And it doesn’t just affect Americans. Christians battle with apathy as well, which is sad because Christians are called to love others and put the needs of others above their own. However, we often are quick to complain and blame, but not quick to do anything about it. Instead of becoming proactive, many Christians would rather toss the responsibility to someone else. The problem with this kind of treatment is nothing ever gets done. Christians have come to believe that someone else will do the heavy lifting, so it doesn’t really matter.

But it does matter. And Christians need to wake up out of their slumber and start doing something about it. Passing off problems to someone else is what’s gotten families, churches, and even relationships in the mess they are in.

If apathy has had a stronghold on your life, ask God to release it from your life. Pray for the willpower to overcome apathy with action.

In Romans 12, Paul offers some powerful ways to actively perform spiritual service to others.

Apathetic people are indifferent. They show no signs of caring and sharing. They are basically dead to the world. But if more people lived out Romans 12 in their lives, it would drive them out of apathy and into an active life of total transformation.

Ask yourself: How do I want to be remembered? Do I want my family to remember me as apathetic? Or do I want my loved ones to remember me as a person who served the needs of others?

In order for a nation to stand strong, men and women of conviction must be willing to stand for religious freedom and “the free exercise thereof” when it is convenient and when it is not. When we do this, we may find a struggle on our hands, yet we’ll also find ourselves working to support the work of God in our nation.

How can we hope to see God at work in our lives and our nation? It is not through our own strength, but through the power of the Holy Spirit. He is not a mere force that influences us. As the third person of the triune God, the Holy Spirit is eternal (Hebrews 9:14), omnipresent (Psalm 139:7), and omniscient (1 Corinthians 2:10). He is a creator (Psalm 104: 30) who acts in power (1 Corinthians 12:11), gives life (Romans 8:10–11), and strengthens believers (Ephesians 3:16).

A. W. Tozer, a Christian leader who died in the 1960s, wrote, “If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference.” The Holy Spirit serves as the key to the current famine in the family and in the church.

Finally, the course of a nation is based upon the lives of the individual members of each family. If we wish to change our nation, it must begin with a passionate pursuit of the Lord in our own lives. Let’s call out to Him today. James wrote, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (4:7–8 NKJV). This promise is true for your life, the lives of those in your family, and the hearts of those across our nation who long to see God at work in them

 I thought this was good.
