Summary

In our third day of this series exploring how to put our faith into action, we’re looking at how we can love others by simply making time for them. The busier our schedules get, the harder it can be to make time for the needs of others. But we see in Jesus someone who while holding the power to save and heal the world, made time for the one. May God grant us his perspective and fashion us into his likeness today.

Our Scripture for today comes from Luke 8:40-42, and today's worship is In The Family by Josh Garrels.

Thank you for listening to today’s podcast, love makes time for others.

As you go about your day today and recognize someone who needs a few moments of your time,

try, even just for one opportunity, to set the rest of your day aside to meet a need. Oftentimes that

which seems so urgent really can wait, especially if we sense the prompting of the Spirit to be his

hands, feet, and maybe voice in the lives of another.

Make sure to rate and review the podcast and subscribe if you haven’t already.

Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him
