Show God's love

My church does this really cool thing every few month's called "The church has left the building." Instead of meeting for service sunday morning, they encourage us to go out into the community and show "God's love" to people. We have given out bottled water on a hot day, at a flea market. People were so grateful and curious why we did this. We say to "share Gods Love." Another time we handed out Starbucks $5 gift cards to people entering, during the holidays. and another time we gave out quarters and detergent at a laundry mat. One man said "Are you for real, man?" He couldn't believe it. God is REAL... and so is his Love. Might we be that person, to show Gods love today? Everybody needs to know Gods love. Who is that one person in your path? Is it a complaining coworker, a struggling friend, a angry neighbor, or a grumpy stranger? Show God's Love this week. Someone out there was placed in your path. Needing some encouragement, some kindness, a touch, a smile, a kind word , a kind gesture. Make that difference... Show God's Love. There is a whole world out there waiting to be touched:)
