Faith, Works, Love

S ~If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. (James 2:15-17 NKJV)

O ~ i am thinking that the giving of food and clothing needs to be motivated out of love. If not, there is no credit in the givers account. And perhaps, the receiver only gets items, not genuine care. 

A ~ This ties in with what I am thinking about my ministry in India. Love is directly connected to ministry, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Faith, demonstrated by works, motivated by love. A transforming way to live.

Prayer ~  Lord Jesus, please help me to live in such a way that these things are evident in my life: Faith, Works, Love.
