A life for others
It’s not about me — it’s about loving God and others.
Consider this
‘It’s hard to believe so much could have changed in such a short time’, Lou thought to herself. She tried to think back to six months ago. She was pretty sure she wouldn’t have even entertained the idea back then, not even for a minute. She was happy to be with people and help out when she could, but there were times when she needed some downtime. Yet here she was, sitting in her kitchen, waiting for Ayisha, the refugee from northern Iraq, to arrive. A housemate! Who would have thought it? But what else could she do? The girl needed a home and she had space.
She could almost pinpoint the moment of her change of heart. It was as she listened to a talk she had downloaded on Romans 5. She began to understand the gospel in a new way. Okay, it might be a tad clichéd, but there was no other way to describe it: she had been deeply moved and had even begun to sob. The Lord just seemed so much more real to her. And she wanted to please him. Of course, she wanted to serve and bless Ayisha, but that was because she so much wanted to serve and honour her Saviour.
