January 26 – Love That Marks Us

Scripture (KJV)John 13:35 — “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

Reflection
Jesus did not say the world would recognize His disciples by their words alone, their church attendance, or even their knowledge of Scripture. He said they would be known by their love. This love is not shallow kindness or selective compassion—it is a Christlike love that serves, forgives, bears burdens, and remains faithful even when it is costly.

In a divided and often hostile world, genuine love stands out. When believers love one another with humility and grace, it becomes living evidence that Christ is real and active among us. Our love points people beyond ourselves and toward Jesus. It is both our witness and our responsibility.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the love You have shown me through Jesus Christ. Teach me to love others as You have loved me—patiently, sacrificially, and sincerely. Remove pride, bitterness, and selfishness from my heart, and let Your love flow through my life so others may see Christ in me. May my actions reflect my faith, and may my love glorify You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
