It’s human nature to want to feel loved. That’s just how God created us. When people feel loved, they are happier, healthier, more successful, more determined, and the list goes on and on. Do you realize that God loves us with a love that we just don’t understand and even though sometimes we don’t recognize it, He’s constantly doing things for us to make us feel loved?
God could have given His work to the angels to do, but He allows us the privilege of helping others feel loved. There’s truly no greater feeling than bringing joy to someone else. When you take the time to brighten someone’s day, you’ll be putting a smile on their face and a song in their heart. And just like that, you’ll reap what you sow. When you take the time to share some love, that smile and that song will also become yours to enjoy!
“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”
– Philippians 2:3-4
