Not Boredom But Freedom

Read 2 John 1-6

Reflection of Tommy:

In 2 John, we are reminded to recommit ourselves to be a person of truth, of love and of obedience. We are asked to walk in love as Christian (v6), a real love that contrasts starkly to the distorted love in our world today. This real love is all about selfless giving, caring, sharing and even dying.

We can show this real love in many ways; by refusing to judge or looking down on others; by accepting people; by being a good and emphatic listener; by helping, giving and serving others without always expecting something in return. By doing this, we put what we have learned into practice; walking in obedience to God’s commands (v6).

Dear Father, thank You for teaching me to not just love in word or in tongue but in deed and in truth (1 John 3:18). Open my eyes to see any opportunities to display the same genuine love Christ has shown to me. Guide all my ways that they will be always pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
