Let Love Lead

There’s a story told of a missionary who spent decades serving in a foreign land. He built schools, taught the Word, and organized medical camps—but struggled to connect with the people. One day, a local elder gently said to him, “You’ve done much for us, but we have not felt your love.” Those words pierced his heart. From then on, he made it his mission not just to serve, but to love deeply. The transformation was undeniable. People didn't just hear the Gospel—they felt it.

In parenting, ministry, marriage, or daily life, it’s easy to lead with correction, performance, or tasks. But love must be the motive and the method. When love leads, our tone softens, our listening deepens, and our impact multiplies. We begin to see people through God's eyes—not as projects to fix, but as souls to love.
