21-Day Love Your Neighbor Challenge - Devo

WEEK 3 - REFLECTION

SUMMARY

"But friends, that’s exactly who we are: children of God. And that’s only the beginning. Who knows how we’ll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we’ll see him—and in seeing him, become like him." 1 JOHN 3:2-3 MSG

The true saving work of Jesus is a changed heart that leads to a changed life. It’s not about trying harder or knowing more—it’s about becoming more like Him. The more we walk with Him, the more clearly we see Him and the more we become like Him.

That’s what this 21-day journey has been about—not just checking boxes or doing good things, but learning to see the ordinary moments as meaningful opportunities to reflect the heart of Jesus. Loving your neighbor isn’t a one-time act—it’s a way of life. Jesus said: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these” (Mark 12:30-31, NIV). 

Our hope is that these 21 days have opened your eyes to what’s possible. That you’ve seen how small acts of love can spark big change, and that you believe that God can use you, right where you are, to bring light into someone’s life

So keep going. Keep showing up, reaching out, and saying yes as the Holy Spirit leads you. Let this be the start of a new way of living—on purpose, with purpose–so our communities begin to look more like the Kingdom of God. Continue walking through this world with open eyes, open hands, and a heart shaped by Jesus.

Let’s go love our neighbors—and never stop.
