Scripture: Scripture: 1
John 3: 1 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that
we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason
the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear
friends, now we
are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that
when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him
as he is. 3 All who
have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. 11 For
this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12 Do
not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his
brother. And
why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were
righteous. 13 Do not
be surprised, my brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. 14 We know
that we have passed from death to life, because we love each
other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. 15 Anyone
who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid
down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If
anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no
pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? 18 Dear
children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
Quotes
about Helping Others: “Everybody
can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college
degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to
serve.... You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics
to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. ” -
Martin Luther King
“If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in
vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting
robin Up to his nest again, I shall not live in vain.” - Emily Dickinson
