What about those who never see love?

I've been thinking a lot lately about all of those in this world who never see love. They don't know God's unconditional love, they do not have parents to show them love. They do not know what it means to be loved. I, unfortunately, encountered this in my practicum classroom when I witnessed a five-year old's brother tell her that he was so disappointed in her, that he'd rather drop her off at the police station than ever take her home again. My heart broke. I don't even know this girl, but I know she's not getting the love she deserves. She represents one of many who do not know or feel real love. And this story is one of the reasons I became a teacher. I want to show Christ's love to those who never experience it elsewhere. I want to be the one to show them that I care when no one else does. And it breaks my heart that the world does not work this way, that not all people think this way. Even if the person is a complete stranger, we need to show them the same love and compassion that Christ would show them. God does not call us to change the world, but he does call us to show Christ's love each and every day. Even if you only make a difference in one person's life, it matters. It matters to that one person.


How will you show love to others?
