"When a man learned that an elderly woman could no longer buy her medicine and pay her rent, he came to her rescue. He took her into his home and treated her as if she were his mother. He gave her a bedroom, prepared the food for her meals, bought her medicine, and transported her whenever she needed medical attention. He continued to care for her when she could no longer do much for herself. I was amazed when I learned that this good man was a zealous atheist!" Our Daily Bread
The love God expects of us is to be motivated by our love for Jesus Christ; it is the love of response, we love because He first loved us. Other people who do not know the Lord can be compassionate and loving, but why we love is what makes us unique.
