We have a core value at NCC: love people when they least expect it and least deserve. Go ahead and love people when they expect it and deserve, but that doesn't count for much. Buying someone a birthday gift or giving flowers on Valentine's Day is like breaking even. Why? Because it's expected and deserved.If you really want to impact someone, love them when they have just made the biggest mistake of their life and they are surrounded by an angry mob with stones in their hands! Isn't that what Jesus did to the woman caught in the act of adultery? He loved her when she least expected it and least deserved it. That is the example we need to follow.
I want my life to be about loving people and blessing people when they least expect it because that is how God loves us. He comes out of nowhere and surprises us with His amazing grace!
