Now that it’s March, you may notice your New Year’s resolutions falling by the wayside. Remember that January 1 is just one day after December 31. The beginning of the year is not the time to completely overhaul your life, but an opportunity for a readjustment to know your next steps are the right ones.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another.

John 13:34

For three years, Jesus taught His disciples about the kingdom of God, how to love one another and how to meet needs. The night before His crucifixion, He washed their feet and told them to serve each other. He then told them of the “new commandment” to love one another, and it wasn’t the first time He told them to love others…but loving and serving in such a way that people around them would take notice was the next step.

When it comes down to specifics, sometimes knowing what God wants is confusing. During those times, ask yourself, “What is the best way to love God and others, especially in the body of Christ?” Pray that Christians will love and serve each other in such a way that unbelievers in this country will be drawn to the Lord.
