From @mmm_water ... 2023 Well Season: Daily Devotional

September 1 - October 31 is Marion Medical Mission Well Season for 2023. The season will include daily devotionals - one for each day the U.S. volunteers are overseas, sharing the love of Jesus by providing safe, clean, sustainable sources of drinking water to the extreme poor in sub-Saharan Africa. Marion Medical Mission is one of our mission partners at Grace Presbyterian Church of Midland, Texas, and we STRONGLY encourage you to read these devotions to learn more about - and pray for! - their mission.

GOD IS LOVE
Mavuto A. C. Nyirenda
MMM Field Officer, Malawi

"f someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.” 1 John 4:20-21 & 1 John 3:14br />
God is love. And His people should reflect this divine attribute. People suffer when they are outside the circle of love.

Our mission as MMM is not only to preach the gospel through giving water, but also to envelop them in an affectionate environment. When we love people, we have greater success leading them to Jesus Christ. People have to be drawn to us, whom they see, before they can be drawn to Jesus Christ, whom they cannot see.

Friendliness attracts. If Jesus Christ lives in us, and we reflect His character, our life will be like a magnet that attracts people. A greeting, a smile, a polite gesture, such as opening the door for someone, expressing honest praise, remembering someone’s good deeds, are friendly details that win over the hearts of neighbors, relatives, co-workers, or strangers.

Application Question: Do our prayers help us to love our brothers and sisters?

Prayer: Dear God, Lord, Almighty. We thank You for the greater love that You show to us, Your children. Thank You for the great things that MMM is doing for Your children on earth. Thank You for the volunteers in the field where wells are built and America where funds come from. Give us strength and zeal to continue working for You Lord, in all the days of our lives, that You have prepared for us to live on this earth. Amen
