Trend on Twitter, Trend in Life

We think it's cool that Bible verses are trending on Twitter. And today it's John 15:13, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." But it's one thing to trend on Twitter, and another to trend in real life. How do we live out that verse anyway?

Did you know that the verses surrounding John 15:13 all talks about love? It says it over and over again. Love one another. Sure, we'd feel very loved if someone literally died for us. But we also think there's more than one way to lay down your life for your friends. But it will all boil down to this: how you express your love to others.

Simply put, words are not enough. Actions speak louder. Lay down your life by...

• Giving up your time to listen to a friend's problems
• Lending your shoulder to a friend's tears
• Taking your friend out for coffee just because
• Doing things for your friends even if it inconveniences you

Laying down your life is love in action.

How can you lay down your life today? What is your love in action?
