Doers of the Word

"But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves." ~ James 1:22

Today the Pharisees and scribes fail to understand that to act without love is to not act in accordance with the law. Jesus warns them that nothing from the outside defiles a person, but it is that which is within the human heart that corrupts. James also says in his letters that a pure religion includes caring for the orphans and widows in their distress. This photo of Deaf women in Bujumbura reminds me that there is a big world out there where care is needed. My own heart still yearns to be a doer of the word.

What about you--what does your heart yearn to do in this regard?

Peace,

Suzanne
