God reveals the depth of Christ’s love for us through the people who grace our lives—the ones who selflessly sacrifice for our well-being and those for whom we willingly do the same. Author and motivational speaker Brian Tracy encourages us to “always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting.”
Giving is not just a monetary task. It's a heart task. All of us are called to do it for the kingdom of God to flourish and for the walking, living testimonies that surround us in our lives.
As we reflect on the phrase Walk in Love, we are reminded of the profound impact that love can have when expressed through our actions. Walking in love demonstrates care and concern for others, fosters a sense of belonging, and builds a community rooted in compassion and empathy. Through this lens of love, we can approach our stewardship responsibilities, seeking to nurture a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.
