Standard Treatment

A story is told years ago, about a prominent obstetrician who had a unique approach to caring for under nourished infants. When he made his nursery rounds and he came to a baby who had failed to gain weight, he would note the following instructions to the attending nurse in the baby's chart: "This baby is to be loved every three hours."  You see, this wise doctor considered that these babies needed something much more than formulas or mere nutrients to survive; they first needed to experience the warmth of another's life giving affection!
If this principle is true, how many people are there in the world today that are sickly and ailing simply because they have not been cared for and loved?
Every follower of Christ has been called, commissioned, and sent into the world to reach out with the compassion and power of Jesus! Romans 12:9, 10 says: "Let your love be free from hypocrisy. Detest what is evil, adhere to the good. Love one another with brotherly affection, competing with one another in showing mutual regard.
This scripture teaches us that our love for one another has to be genuine and real. Our affection must never become like the makeup and the costumes that actors wear in a Broadway show. When will we realize that hurting people aren't at all impressed by our religious piety?  Don't foolishly thing that they can't readily see through even the cleverest masquerade of our insincerity!
People the world over; thrive on being in competition with one another. Sadly enough, some folks aren't aware that oftentimes their true motives stem from a low self esteem and/or the distorted need to prove themselves!  Often, they have a great need to feel in control, or simply the desire to "be on top"!    However, this is not the same kind of competitive spirit that the Apostle Paul is urging us to yield to. The work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Believer empowers us to help enable others to "get over" or to "be on top"! Could you imagine what could happen in our homes and communities when each of us were in "competition" in showing our "brotherly affection"? This kind of competition would create unlimited opportunities in which we could invest our time, talents, and treasures into helping those in need.
Friend, You won't have to go to the hospital, an inner city rescue mission, or even a foreign mission's field to find someone physically, emotionally, or spiritually malnourished. Those in need reside as close as your arms can reach and your hands can touch. Every hungry soul has at least one thing in common; Doctor Jesus has seen their condition and has noted the following instruction on their charts: "This person is to be loved, at least three zillion times at day". Be blessed! Be free!
