Thank you, Fam…

… for all your heartfelt birthday wishes and love sent from near & far yesterday.
Mad appreciation!

It’s moments like these that remind me that the most important part of our lives are our relationships: our relationships with God and our relationships with one another. We are created to love each other, and I am so grateful to experience this journey of love with you.

Loving Each Other

Before His betrayal, Jesus washes His disciples feet, breaks bread with them, and implores them to love each other:

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35

Loving each other is so crucial that Jesus says everyone will know that we are His disciples by how we love one another. And that love for each other is to be as sacrificial as His is for us.

Your Sacrifices

Many of you, right now, are making sacrifices for your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, and I want to say “Thank You” on their behalf. God sees you. And others see and know that you are a follower of Christ because of those sacrificial acts of love.

I thanked my husband yesterday, who is not a morning person (AT ALL! :=), but daily makes the tangible sacrifice of love to get up at 2 AM for his gig. That commitment, first to God, then to his family, sure does communicate love.

So, Thank You

So, hear this from me today: You are appreciated. You are treasured. And your sacrifices have not gone unnoticed. Your love is evident and true and it’s a witness to a turbulent world who’s searching for it. You are making a difference. Thank you.

Go forth,
Naima
