“Why do you speak to all these people about God?” a young boy asked me once at an evangelistic festival. “Because I love God,” was my reply. It sounds too simple, but it’s the truth. We are all called to share the Good News with others. And above all, that’s the sign that we truly do love others:  sharing God’s Good News about His Son, as Romans, chapter 1 tells us.

I have a question for you today. When you feel a tug on your heart to reach out to someone, why do you act? What prompts you to speak and to share? Is it love?

Jesus reminds us about love in the Gospel of Matthew. He says, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.” He then says that the second greatest commandment is to “love your neighbor as yourself.”

This is why we share. We are compelled by God’s love. That’s one reason; perhaps the main reason that motivates us who are true believers in Jesus Christ.

This week I hope you will deeply feel God’s love for you, yourself. I pray you grow in your own relationship with Him. And I pray you will share this love with others. It’s too great a secret to keep to ourselves.
