Dear Faith Family,

This past week, we had our night of lights. We had host homes around the community in hopes of loving and getting to know our neighbors better. 

We had an amazing response and a wonderful time. In the days ahead I know we will hear many more stories about how God moved.

At the house we were at, I was reminded that loving on people is how we will change the world. Loving on people can look like many different things. Last Monday, loving on people involved hot dogs, candy, costumes, juice boxes, fun, and games. Sometimes, it’s helping someone in need. Other times it’s just listening to someone’s struggles. One thing that is always the same, to love people you have to be around people. Loving people doesn’t have to always be perfect. Or pretty. Loving on people is how we share the love Jesus has for us. Jesus showed us how to love people. From the woman at the well, Zacchaeus, Peter, the sick, his own friends and family. Jesus loved on them where they were. It involves seeing people as God sees them. It doesn’t always mean staying in our comfort zone.

One thing I kept hearing throughout the night was “thank you” and “why are you doing this?” 

Do you see what happens when we love people. They will ask us to share why we do what we do. They open the door for us to share our why. That’s when we get to tell them about Jesus.

Go love somebody today!
