We Are Concerned, and Talking!

But we don't need to write to you about the importance of loving each other, for God himself has taught you to love one another. 1 Thessalonians 4:9

Paul writes that he does not need to write, and he doesn't! For God taught us the importance of what is coming out now in this time. We are communicating from a physical distance much more than we did before this thing started. Even just the short interrogatory message: "Are you okay?" shows our love of one another. We are learning to be careful of what goes around in social media and not re-posting just anything that shows up in our feeds. We are missing the conversations and worship services we once had with the church congregations. Even the chance meeting in the grocery store that we must cut short or avoid entirely becomes more precious to us in this time. It is the big crisis that is bringing them seeking the Lord! 

Love is shown in this opportunity to share the good news of Jesus in so many ways. But, oh!, the challenge for some who cannot meet face to face and talk about the love of Jesus. No talking, it must be done by showing. I see no problem for us though. We are creative because our Father God is creative, and we will find ways to show the love of Jesus in this time of physical separation. 

God bless us, one and all!
