You don't have to solve all the problems. You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to be super-intelligent. You don't have to be somebody else. You don't have to "figure it all out."
You just have to be loving.
We hurry here and scramble there, striving and arranging, primping and pruning. We stress about this and fret about that. We grow frustrated and frazzled. We fail, we disappoint, we err. But we are missing it.
We just need to be loving.
They need us to be on time. They need us to be strong. They need us to be competent. They need us to be smart. They need us to be tough.
Not really. What they really need is for us to be loving.
Christ showed us this on the cross. He showed us this in his daily living. He showed us this by his walk. He even told us this directly.
This weekend, I would urge us all to stop and consider Christ's example of infinite love; what He did for us on the cross and what he triumphed over in rising from the grave.
It is all that we need.
It is all that the world needs.
