IT DOESN’T COST MUCH TO LOVE

“Not all of us can do great things but we can do small things with great love” Mother Teresa

Love is not a complicated subject as many people think. A lot of people have been hurt having put their whole heart into one unhealthy relationship and as a result have vowed not to love again. Some too have went into the extreme of committing suicide because their lover broke their heart. But I am not talking about that kind of love, I am introducing you to the love for humanity. One of the greatest commandment in the bible is to Love God and your neighbor.

The love that thinks about the well-being of others first, the love that care for the poor, the love that gives to the needy with cheerfulness; this is the love we ought to subscribe to.

The book of James give a profound prototype of the love that pleases the Father in James 1:27 “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted in the world.”

The key category of people whom we have to care for are the poor, the orphan, the needy and the widow. These are the least privilege groups of people in our society; the people who lack basic needs: food, clothing, shelter and many more. These are the people we have around us, some are even our neighbor’s so we shouldn’t look unconcerned about their needs. Love is simply living for others. It involves sacrifice. “The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.” Mother Teresa

So from today forward, donate to the needy in your community, pay the fees of that brilliant child whose parent are poor, visit any orphanage near you and put a smile on their faces, feed the person who is hungry, visit your friend who is in the hospital, give your seat to the elderly person in the bus, donate to help disaster victims. Help them if it is your power to do so and do not turn your back on them.

Most of the time we wait until Easter or Christmas before we donate to charity. We should rather make it a habit to express our love all the time knowing that we will receive a reward for our effort.

“Give, and it will be given to you: Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38

In all, remember that doesn’t cost much to love. “Not all of us can do great things but we can do small things with great love.”  Mother Teresa
