Often I’ll be out and about and see someone wearing a hat with a team logo or a sweatshirt in their school colors. Sometimes I will remark about it, saying, “Go Cats!” when I see someone sporting a Northwestern University sweatshirt or asking if they are from Chicago when the have a Cubs hat on. Quite often the person I am talking to looks at me befuddled. It seems they’ve forgotten what they are wearing. They may be wondering how I knew to connect them to the school or team they are advertising. It’s happened to me before so I recognize the feeling.
Today’s verse is reminding me that as a follower of Jesus, I should be advertising my allegiance to Him. Not with a certain color or logo, but with an attitude and behavior toward other people. My team logo is love.
The question is whether I’m wearing love prominently enough to make other people notice and remark about it. Is my love for others remarkable? Sadly, I don’t think so.
Dear God,
I’m sorry that I’m not wearing our team colors proudly and loudly. Teach me how to love remarkably so that people know I follow you and that you are the source of love.
