老先生和一位單親媽媽比鄰而居已經五年多了。一天，老先生因擔心單親媽媽出了狀況而去按了她家的門鈴。老先生對她說：「我大概有一個禮拜沒看見你們了，所以想來確認一下你們是否都還安好。」老先生善意的確認鼓舞了這位單親媽媽。因她自幼喪父，所以特別感激這位好心的老先生關懷她和她的家人。

真誠的善意就像是一份寶貴的禮物，付出的人不求回報，接受的人也會萬分感激。當我們用實際行動向人表達善意，便是藉由分享基督的愛來服事他人。希伯來書的作者勸勉基督徒「應當靠著耶穌，常常以頌讚為祭獻給上帝，這就是那承認主名之人嘴唇的果子」（希伯來書13章15節）。接著，作者又要他們活出信心，並且「不可忘記行善和分享，因為這樣的祭物是上帝所喜悅的」（16節，和合本修訂版）。

我們能以稱頌耶穌的名來敬拜祂，是何等美好的殊榮。但我們若將耶穌的愛付諸於行動，卻更能表達對上帝真實的愛。我們可以請求聖靈使我們能看到表達愛的機會，並讓我們得到能力去關愛家人以及更多的人。我們透過這些服事他人的時刻，以愛的行動傳遞有力的信息，與人分享耶穌。

The single mother lived next door to the older gentleman for more than five years. One day, concerned for her welfare, he rang her doorbell. “I haven’t seen you for about a week,” he said. “I was just checking to see if you’re all right.” His “wellness check” encouraged her. Having lost her father at a young age, she appreciated having the kind man watching out for her and her family.

When the free-to-give and priceless-to-receive gift of kindness goes beyond just being nice, we’re serving others by sharing the love of Christ with them. The writer of Hebrews said believers in Jesus should “continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name” (Hebrews 13:15). Then, the writer commissioned them to live out their faith, saying, “Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased” (v. 16).

Worshiping Jesus by professing His name is a pleasure and privilege. But we express true love for God when we love like Jesus. We can ask the Holy Spirit to make us aware of opportunities and empower us to love others well within our own families and beyond. Through those ministry moments, we will be sharing Jesus through the powerful message of love in action.
