An encouraging challenge for us all. When your heart or mind is influenced by the Holy Spirit to reach out to another, do so with all immediacy. You never know what impact your reaching out will have on another man's life. John 13:34-35 Lexham English Bible 34 “A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another—just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples—if you have love for one another.” barry/fs
