LOVE is the difference

“If I speak in the language of the beneficiaries but have not love, I am only a well dressed agent.

If I have a gift for the work of community transformation and can negotiate hidden agendas, and if I have all knowledge and access to resources that can move mountains, but have not love, I am just an NGO.

If I deliver everything promised and in the process completely exhaust myself, but have not love, I gain nothing. I can build the best houses, and dig the deepest wells, but if I have not love, and I do not offer dignity and respect I am only a service provider.”

Spirit of Jesus

And now may the Spirit of Jesus:
The One who hugged the demoniac,
Touched the leper,
Accepted the worship of a prostitute
And honoured Samaritans -
Infect our thoughts and attitudes
So that the God who is not far from any one of us,
Will touch the lives of others we meet this day,
For the honour of God's name.
Amen.
