Personally to me, loving others have become more than just a one-off decision that I have to make in my life. Loving-others is an everyday decision and effort that an individual makes.
Loving others is a lifestyle that one will choose to have. It goes beyond the walls of our comfort and steps into another world that may seem unfamiliar. It causes us to get uncomfortable at times just to make someone’s day.
Loving others requires one person to have a pre-made decision that the day shall not be all about him/her. It means telling God, “Hey, I choose to make myself available for You, just so I can show Your love to someone else today.” Sometimes, it even means making an effort to keep a lookout just to meet a need!
When Ps Paul Scanlon preached about 15 Revolution, it totally blew me away! That’s what loving people is all about! It’s more than just inviting them to church, it’s ultimate about having a relationship with them and loving them.
As I began to put these things into practice, I saw its amazing outcome! Doing the 15 revolution doesn’t mean you have to find a stranger and meet their needs. While that may be great, anyone of us can really start by impacting the people in our own world.
Recently in my class, we had a presentation that was done based on Academic Writing. Among all of our presentation, there was one group that truly shined through and was nominated the best among the tutorial group. I realized that one of my classmate spoke very well. A few minutes later, I saw him in the lab and he was just busy doing his own work. I decided to just compliment him and said that he spoke and prepared well. Honestly, the guy has been avoiding me for some time because I’ve invited him to church before (haha, some bad mistakes there). As I complimented him, you could see the gleam of appreciation that came from his face as he explained that they really prepared it quite late. He felt glad that his hard work had really paid off.
From these experience and many more, I realized that simple compliments as these can truly make someone else’s day. =) It’s about noticing the smallest things about the person that makes them see that you appreciate them.
Heart of God church was the product of our Pastor’s love for others and people… and the same heart is in our leaders. In Zone G, we are a generation of people who will live a alternate life. It’s beyond just fulfilling our dreams and overcoming our circumstances… Its bringing the love of God into the lives of others while doing good.
Let’s make a difference. Let’s love God, love Others and love Life.

2 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love
