WITH ACTIONS AND IN TRUTH
Wayne Schultz Volunteer and MMM Board Member, Colorado
"If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” - 1 John 3:17-18
We often think this verse applies primarily to those who are wealthy and choose not to share with those less fortunate. Instead, it reaches to all who have resources and/or abilities that are available to help others.
For MMM it includes not only potential donors, but volunteers, coordinators, field officers, installation supervisors, builders and even villagers as they see the need that others ignore.
This need (clean water), although obvious, escapes the attention of those outside of MMM as too expensive, too much or beyond the realm of possibility.
The difference that makes the MMM mission possible is a Love of God among those who have accepted His gift of grace and have chosen to respond with actions and in truth by moving their feet in spite of the magnitude of the need or the lack of resources.
Application Question: How have you seen those in MMM reflect God’s love for them, and their appreciation for His grace as they work among those in need?
Prayer: Lord, thank You for all those in MMM who have recognized the needs of their brothers and sisters, and who show gratitude for Your gift of grace and demonstrate Your love for them through the work they do in Your name. Amen
