Jesus is Calling Devotional for Today – January 23, 2025

TOPIC: Serving Others in Love

We all have opportunities every day to make a difference in someone’s life. Sometimes, it’s through big acts of kindness, but most times, it’s in the small, quiet moments. The Bible reminds us in Galatians 5:13, “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.”

This verse teaches us that the freedom we have in Christ is not for selfish gain. It’s a gift meant to be shared. God calls us to serve one another in love, putting others before ourselves. Every kind word, every thoughtful action, every selfless moment—it’s all a way of reflecting God’s love to the world.

When we serve others, we walk in the example of Jesus. He came not to be served, but to serve (Mark 10:45). His life was a testament to humble service, and we are called to follow in His footsteps. Whether it’s helping a neighbour, praying for a friend, or giving our time to someone in need, these acts of love are how we bring His light to others.

Love in action is powerful. It has the ability to heal wounds, restore hope, and strengthen relationships. In John 13:34-35, Jesus says, “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.”

Serving others is not always easy. It takes humility, patience, and a willingness to put others first. But in doing so, we experience the joy of living out our faith and becoming more like Christ.
