TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"...Love is kind..."
1 Corinthians 13:4
TODAY'S WORD:
You may have heard this verse many times before, but one translation says that "love looks for a way to be constructive." In other words, kindness isn't just about being nice; it's looking for ways to improve someone else's life. It's bringing out the best in others.
When you start your day, don't just spend time thinking about yourself or how you can make your own life better. The more I look at my life as a Disciple I continue to try and find ways I can be more like Christ. I challenge each of us to think about ways we can make someone else's life better, too! Ask yourself, "Who can I encourage today? Who can I build up?" You and I have something to offer those around us that no one else can give. Someone in your life this very moment needs your encouragement. Someone in your life needs to know that you believe in them! We are responsible for how we treat the people He's placed in our lives. He's counting on us to bring out the best in our family in our friends and in our community.
Selah people' and friends today, ask the Lord to give you creative ways to encourage those around you. As you sow seeds of encouragement and bring out the best in others, God will send people along your path that will build you up, too. Keep showing kindness so you can move forward into the blessing and freedom He has for you!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father God, thank You for loving me. Thank You for believing in me and always building me up. I ask that You show me creative ways to encourage and build up the people around me. Help me be an example of Your love today and always. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
In Christ service,
Patrick
