Thought for Today: “Interruptions as Divine Opportunities”

God tests our love for Him, as we are commanded in the Great Commission, through loving others. And what we need to realize is that this can happen at any time. In school we would call these “Pop Quizzes.”

So, we must be willing to risk some inconvenience. Make the conscious choice to forgo some personal safety and ignore all the barriers society places upon us that separates and divides by race, creed, color, gender, and occupation.

Further, Love God’s Style must be willing to open its eyes to see the needs of others and extend a helping hand, offering both personal and practical assistance, and to realize that these are not inconveniences or interruptions, but rather they are divine opportunities to show God’s love so that we can be those conduits of His grace and mercy to this lost and dying world.

These divine interruptions can be seen in Jesus second commandment which He likened to the first, which is to love God with the whole of our being; heart, soul, mind, and strength. And the second command is then to love our neighbors as ourselves.
