People turn inward, protecting their own space and energy. Yet Peter reminds us that love is not just a feeling—it is something we <em>practice</em>.</p><p>Hospitality, presence, listening, and simple acts of service are powerful expressions of love. Often, what sustains a struggling believer is not a sermon, but someone who shows up. Ministry becomes the channel through which God’s grace flows into wounded hearts.</p><p>We serve not because people are perfect, but because love covers, heals, and restores.</p><p><strong>Prayer:</strong></p><p>Lord, soften my heart. Help me love deeply and serve willingly, even when it costs me time or comfort. Let Your love flow through me. Amen.</p><p><strong>Action Step:</strong></p><p>Identify one person who may need encouragement, care, or presence—and take one step toward them.</p>","author_name":"Various"}
