– Not waiting for someone else to do the right thing before you do –
Being the first to do what is right means you are more focused on what God says than on your comfort. It takes courage to be the first to act because it may mean standing alone or drawing negative attention to yourself. Even so, God reminds you that, as you step out in faith, He is pleased and rewards you beyond your expectations. Jesus loved you first, so now you can love.
“We love because he first loved us.” – 1 John 4:19 (NIV)
