When our relationship with God is spiritually healthy-
– the people around us will know it by the way we treat them.
Too often we’re like the Israelites in Zechariah’s time-
– involved in religious activities that are more about ourselves than truly worshiping God.
God spoke through the prophet Zechariah to expose His people’s sinful hearts-
– as they mourned and fasted during an annual festival that commemorated the
destruction of the Temple.
God declared straightforwardly that their pious observances were-
– more about pleasing themselves
– than worshiping Him.
If the most important relationship we have has turned selfish and sinful-
– other areas of our lives will be affected.
Our relationships with the people around us will become self-serving and dysfunctional.
Nearly every prophet in the Bible, as well as our Lord Jesus-
– made a direct connection between loving God and loving people.
Worship God wholeheartedly, with selflessness and integrity-
– and His compassion will flow through you to others!

“Father, may my love for You be demonstrated in the ways-
I love the people You have placed in my life.”
