While reading my overnight email, I chanced upon one from an old student now living in the United Kingdom. She wrote to thank me for being her support team leader, always on her side through her sisterly struggles. It is cool to be kind and supportive.
Inspired to keep sending her blessings and prayers, I realized that doing so is a part of my identity and nature. Each day is a gift when I stay in the present. I draw my blessing from my daily reading of the holy Bible.
We can focus too much on setbacks. Instead, we can keep our hearts in the right place, trusting in God’s process. Jesus is a sign of love sent by God, our eternal Father. So, let us pray to speak respectfully to all we meet and do what we can to express signs of support and Christian caring. Doing so is a language of love, channelled from Jesus above.
No one has seen God in person, but His great love transcends all our struggles (1 John 4:12). As time passes, we will be made fully complete in our Lord’s pillars of love from above. Overall, the context of this verse encourages believers. The message implies that Jesus is always our pillar of love to all whom we meet.
Be a pillar of love for someone today.
