Milk mustached faces with a look of satisfaction give evidence to what was just consumed in an attempt to convince you that you want what they have!!! That's one of the goals of a good advertising campaign, to convince you that the product is something you can't live without, causing you to call the number on the screen, go to the website or drive to the store and get it. You remember these ads, "Got Milk?"
As followers of Christ, we are to be walking advertisements of His love. Like the milk mustache proof of drinking a cool glass of milk, does the Love of God mark us? Would someone looking at your face or your life see proof of love? Walking in love may not be as obvious as a milk on the upper lip but our demonstration of God's love should look like this...
Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]...(1 Corinthians 13:4-8 AMP)
The question is, "Got love?"
