SCRIPTURE: And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: In your walk of love, you are not only servicing your destiny on earth, you are also servicing your welfare in eternity.
It has been established that walking in love is critical to the fulfilment of both the earthly and eternal destiny of man.
This is the right scriptural mind-set to have towards the walk of love. It is important to realize that the gains of loving and giving transcend time into eternity. What it pays you for loving others is beyond anything you gain on earth. It transcends time into eternity.
In Matthew 25:34-46, we see the parable of the goats and the sheep. Jesus Christ gave the parable to illustrate two kinds of Christians which He called the sheep and the goat.
He told the sheep, “I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was naked, and you clothed me; I was thirsty, and you gave me water; I was in prison, and you visited me.”
And then they asked Jesus, “When did we see you?”
And he said, “As you did it for your neighbours, you did it to me. Come you blessed of my father, and inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”
And to the goat on His left-hand side, He told them to go to hell because He was hungry but they did not give Him food.
The lesson from here is, what you do for your neighbour, whether good or bad, you are doing it for Jesus Christ. The love or hatred you show your neighbour is the love or hatred you are showing to Jesus Christ.
So, the gain of loving and giving transcends time into eternity. In your walk of love, you are not only servicing your destiny on earth, you are also servicing your welfare in eternity.
Knowing that your love and care for people is a service to your own life and destiny, both in this life and in eternity, you will be encouraged to keep walking in love regardless of people’s behaviour.
Remember this: In your walk of love, you are not only servicing your destiny on earth, you are also servicing your welfare in eternity.
