When an unclean spirit leaves a person, it wanders through dry places looking for a place to rest. But it doesn’t find any. Then it says, ‘I’ll go back to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house cleaned up and decorated. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself. They go in and make their home there. That person is worse off at the end than at the beginning.” While Jesus was saying these things, a certain woman in the crowd spoke up: “Happy is the mother who gave birth to you and who nursed you.” But he said, “Happy rather are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.” (Luke 11:24-28, CEB)
Have you heard about the love of God?
Have you heard the word of God?
Do you put it into practice?
Or do you do what is best for you rather than loving your neighbor and lifting the lowly? Standing for the orphan and the widow, and welcoming the stranger into your midst?
Do we seek to make everyone around us like us or do we live in the diversity of God’s creation?
Put God’s word and the love Jesus showed us into practice.
Loving People. Loving God.
