Without telling people that I was saved, a born-again believer, I did not know how people would know. Could they look at me a see that there was something different about me? The bible says, "A new commandment I give to you that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this, all will know that you are My disciples if you have love for one another" (John 13:34-35). How does this love look? Well, it is summed up in I Corinthians 13:4-8. "Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps on record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! When we put love to action, others will notice our true birth sign because we display the Love of God everywhere we go!

Prayer of faith and confession
Father in Jesus' name, I boldly confess that love is my birth sign. I am born of you; therefore, I am born of Love! Your word commands us to love as you have loved us. Therefore, by faith and obedience, I will express your love to everyone and every situation I encounter. Thank you for lavishing me with your great love. Freely I have received it, and freely will I give it.
