And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus
Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.
Well, when Christ comes into our lives we become God-filled. We simply can't sit still...we want
to get out and do something about it. And we have a Big Brother to help us do it!
(1 John 3:23
NRSV)
Several years ago, the Los Angeles Times ran a beautiful human interest story. It happened a few
days after the disastrous earthquake in Mexico City. A little Japanese-American boy was going
door-to-door in Los Angeles selling picture postcards for twenty-five cents each. He was giving
the profits for earthquake relief. One man bought some post cards from the little boy...and then he
asked the boy how much he hoped to raise. The little boy answered quickly, "One million
dollars!" The man smiled and said, "Do you mean to tell me that you are trying to raise a million
dollars to help the earthquake victims all by yourself?" "Oh no, sir," replied the boy, "my little
brother is helping me!"
Dear God, thank you for the Big Brother who you have given to me so that I may accomplish
your will of love. Amen.
