You may have read this text before, “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:7,8

I find mystery in this text. We probably all know people who do not profess to believe in God, but who are loving people, and take action to share their love and compassion for others. So based on John’s text, God is working through them.

I have also recently been reading and hearing comments from leadership experts and business thinkers who are not coming from a religious perspective, but are expressing the importance of love in leading people and sustaining business.

Maybe God is using this to provide fertile ground for us to plant the ultimate story of love, Jesus Christ. Something to think about.

Dear Lord, Help us be part of your love in our world. Help us look for opportunities to show others, who love but may not be Christian, the message of Jesus’ love and salvation. In his name we pray. Amen.
