Seeing the Fruit

How you treat others is in direct proportion to your love for Him. There is no way around it. We are not just here to "put up with" other human beings until we get to heaven. Relationships are essential. People should always be our top priority- serving others, building them up, providing opportunities, reaching and connecting constantly, every day. The man who says that he loves boating with all his heart but hates going anywhere near the water doesn't know what he is talking about. Better he should brave the sea, forgetting for a while all about being a "good boater", and learn to love all that is around him. Later, when he has done all this, he will not have to tell anyone that he is a boat lover. They will see it without him even saying a word. The same is true for us. If I never told anyone that I was a Christian, or loved God, may they always see it in me, even if I never spoke a word about it to them.
