In the letter to the fledgling Corinthian church, Paul offers a laundry-list of what love looks like.

When it came down to it, Jesus said that the litmus test for faithfulness to a loving God, is love. Bottom line. Have a question about what you should do in any given situation? Ask where your actions stand on the love meter.

The story of Jesus’ ministry is filled with people wanting to get close to him–especially those who needed healing. After he was gone, that power to heal was passed to his disciples. We hear of one such story this week where Peter reached out to help a man leave the shackles of his illness and not only walk, but leap and praise! As we endeavor to be closer to Jesus, growing as his disciples, we are invited to reach out and touch the pain of the world. How are we called to be agents of healing in our relationships, both personal and communal?
