Himself to them through other believers , dreams , and situations . So I pray … One day it hit me a little differently than it had before . Everyone around me is in the same situation . Maybe their country isn ’ t fighting against a terrorist group or experiencing lots of war , but they are real people with real life struggles . Their stories are missing the Author . Do I love these people around me just like I fell in love with the children in the Middle East ? Am I taking the opportunities I have to share the love of Jesus with these individuals and the Truth that will set them free ?

My prayer is that today it will hit you in a different way . Your siblings need love and you are one of the best people to love them . Your parents could use some help in the kitchen or out in the barn , and you have what it takes to serve them . The grouchy neighbors and the quiet kid in your school are looking for the kind of love that Jesus has put in you . Don ’ t follow the trends that are set in your society today . Instead of looking at a screen of some kind and sitting on your couch , show some love to the people around you . You have the greatest gift ever given to man , and it ’ s wrong for you to keep it to yourself . Today might be the last chance you have with your brother , classmate , or neighbor and you don ’ t want to lose the chances you have to share the life of Jesus with them .
