“These words of Jesus follow a parable about money. Let’s use them today regarding how we treat others. Jesus’ two commandments are to love God and to love others. While we believe our love for God is what matters most, Jesus reminds us that our love for God includes love for our neighbors. When we are faithful and try to love those around us and show kindness whenever we can, our love for God and our kindness towards his people grow each day. When we try to hide frustrations behind politeness or avoid interacting with those we struggle to love, we are dishonest in the little things.
Trust in Christ’s call to love others, for the power and strength to do so is within us through the Holy Spirit. Every encounter with another is a chance to be faithful and honest in showing a little compassion and love. The more “little” encounters you have, the more you will encounter the greatness and magnitude of God’s love.”
