Act Of Kindness

Love this...

Be encouraged. 

God Bless. 

Today's Quotation:

The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.

Kahlil Gibran

Today's Meditation:

I generally have the best of intentions for others in life, but sometimes fail to act upon them when the need arises. Sometimes I find myself missing opportunities to help others because my focus is elsewhere. Sometimes I find myself too occupied with other things to concern myself with others... even for a short while. Then there are those times when I am aware, but choose to pass the opportunity by. Kahlil is talking about these times.

How many times have I seen someone pulled over on the side of the road and I continued past because I felt I could not afford to spend the time offering assistance? Perhaps I do not possess the knowledge or ability to offer any help that would fix their problem, however, the simple act of me stopping and asking is something that does make a difference. It shows a level of caring, compassion, and concern in my fellow man that goes on to strengthen the beautiful bonds that we all share.

I may intend to help others; I may wish for goodness and happiness in their lives; I may even spend time reflecting about how I can be a better person. But it is through putting my kindness into action, even on the smallest of levels, that I serve to make a difference in the lives of others and lay bare my true potential.

Be aware of the needs of others. Chances are that there are people around you right now that are in need of your help and kindness. Perhaps a door needs opening; maybe a heart needs healing; maybe tears need a shoulder to fall upon; maybe that lonely face simply needs an assuring smile to let them know they matter. If we keep our eyes open and help in the littlest of ways, person by person, we will brighten the entire world around us.

Today's Challenge: Carry out some small acts of kindness throughout the day.

Questions to consider:

How do you tend to feel when someone else offers you help in a sincere, caring way?

How many chances will you have to help someone else today, even in very small ways?

What are some specific ways you might be able to offer help to others?

For further thought:

The more often he feels without acting, the less he will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel.

But The Holy Spirit

Some good advice written in the word's below.

Be encouraged. 

God Bless. 

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  There is no law against these things! (NLT) -Galatians 5:22-23

Ever wonder if someone is a Christian? Take a look at their life. Do they express joy? Do they show love towards everyone? Do they display uncommon gentleness? The above qualities are inherent to the Holy Spirit. While these characteristics may not always be evident, it becomes a reflection of how spending time with God will produce these uncommon characteristics. What about you? Have you been spending time with the Holy Spirit to produce this kind of fruit in your life?

Kind Words

There is so much truth to this little devotional. 

Be encouraged. 

God Bless. 

Kind words are like honey - sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. (NLT) -Proverbs 16:24

Do you know someone in your life that could use honest and truly kind words? Words have the power to build someone up. You have the power to make a real difference. People carry the words they've heard spoken to them throughout their lives. These words can build them up positively or tear them down. One thing is true, your words carry power. Be generous with your honey.

Rest

I love this. I was encouraged even living through this mess we call world.

May you be encouraged as well.

God Bless. 

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Inspiration 

It’s scary to watch evil prosper in the world today. Often, we watch world events and feel overwhelmed and powerless because there is nothing we can do. There is something we can do. We can pray to our Father and find rest and comfort in the knowledge that all things occur as part of His plan. He is actively abolishing evil in the world. Let us rest our worried minds in the comfort of His mighty hands.

Prayer

Dear Father, we feel powerless against the evil in the world today. Help us rest in the comfort of Your loving arms. We have faith in Your plan. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Thank You, Father

I loved this prayer. I so want to relate to this prayer.

I want to be thankful in every given situation. Surely, I am not the only one. 

Find wisdom and encouragement in the words written below.

God Bless. 

Thank You, Father. 

The struggle is real, but so are the victories. Thank You for the crushing. Thank You for the oil. It is the anointing that breaks the yoke and we are holding steadfast together, united as one, knowing the necessity of the crushing, knowing the necessity of the oil and the anointing. Continue purifying us and making us more like You. Though the enemy tries to consume, he is never victorious because the battle is already won. He is already defeated. We praise You! Your Spirit reigns! You have settled in our hearts and homes. Our undefeated champion. 

Thank You Father. Thank You that we can speak, we can prophecy, we can declare our destiny in You. We declare that the rest of this week will be filled with might and glory. We declare that we will continue to see the demonstration of God’s love and Spirit in our lives. We declare that we will receive the desires of our heart by faith. Thank You for Your promises. Thank You for going before us and always reaching back to make sure we are good. Thank You for Your great and wondrous love. 

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Bible Name of God : The Lord Christ

The Lord Christ

“Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for ye serve the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:24

We are servants of the Lord Christ. We may never receive what we think we should, or what we hope for, in this world, but we are sure of a proper compensation when God’s books are opened, and He will render to every man according to his deeds. Earthly masters will disappoint us; our Heavenly Master -never! No greater privilege was ever accorded to men than that of serving the Lord Christ. Let us seek to keep this in mind day by day. We are heirs to a wonderful inheritance and our portion will be assigned to us. What a joy to be a servant to such a Master!

Lord Christ, may our eyes be upon Thee as we take up the tasks of the day and joyfully serve Thee. Amen.

Attitude Adjustment

Amen! Praising our Lord, and Savior with a grateful heart is crucial in this day and age. 

Be encouraged.

God Bless.

"Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands".(Psalm 112:1)

Devotional 

The Psalmist writes about the blessed state of the righteous.Praising the Lord can never be exhausted. He deserves to be praised and worthy to be feared not being fearful but respectful of Him.Praise and worship always revives in us the right attitude. It keeps us on the right track. Notice the Psalmist in this verse. He begins with praise, acknowledges fearing the Lord and ends in taking "great delight" in God's commands. His commands lead to life they are the road map to eternal life.Take a quiet moment today to praise the Lord, and acknowledge the love of God through His commands.

And We Know

Amen and encouragement to keep going in the word's written below.

God Bless.

And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Inspiration 

The world is an imperfect place filled with evil and confusion. Sometimes, we feel lost trying to figure out who we are and what our purpose is. We belong to God! We are His children, His perfect creation. Our purpose is to love each other as He loves us and continue to share the hope we have in Christ with this broken world.

Prayer

Dear Father, we belong to You. Thank you for loving us conditionally as we work to make sure all the lost are able to find hope in You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Quote Of The Day - First

Amen! May this resonate deep within us.

God Bless. 

Quote of the Day -Joyce Meyer

“First we must understand that when God calls us to do something, we should not say that we cannot do it. If God says we can, then we can! So often we speak out of our insecurities, or we verbalize what others have previously said about us, or what the devil has told us.” 

-Joyce Meyer, Me and My Big Mouth Study Guide

Little Reminder

Amen!

Just a little reminder!

God Bless.

"Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands".(Psalm 112:1)

And When I Saw Him

Wisdom.

God Bless.

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last

Inspiration 

Fear is a natural emotion. We become frightened of the weather, the dark or perhaps our recent financial status. The list of items or factors we humans fear is endless. If we aren’t careful, our concerns begin to control our behavior. Fear makes us feel trapped until we fall at the feet of our Lord and Savior. When we ask for His help in our weakest moments, He will lift us up and comfort our uneasiness.

Prayer

Dear Father, we are humbled by Your unconditional love for us. Thank you for Your presence when the world frightens us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

The Light Of Men

I felt this was such a powerful little devotional to remind us not to give up.

God Bless. 

THE LIGHT OF MEN

John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

God Said, “Let there be light; and there was light.” (Gn 1:3) All life proceeds from our Lord, and all light, also. The Word is a life and light-giving Word — “The Light of the world is Jesus!” Visualize the whole world in the darkness of sin, men groping blindly, restless and hopeless. We have the Light of Life. We see Him face to face. We bask in the sunshine of His glory. Pity the blind! Carry the Light of the glorious Gospel to their darkened souls. Tell them to arise and shine for the Light is come and the glory of the Lord will shine upon them.

Help us, Lord, to walk in the Light as we have fellowship -WITH- Thee and with one another. Amen.

Meditate On His Love

Wisdom and encouragement written below.  

Stay encouraged. 

God Bless.

Meditate On His Love

Today : Meditate On His Love

TODAY’S VERSE

“O God, we meditate on your unfailing love as we worship in your Temple.” Psalms 48:9 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT

There are many things that vie for our attention. Multiple situations face us at any given moment. Our minds move from issue to issue at blinding speeds. Feeling, observing, assessing and predicting is often done in seconds as we multitask our way through the day. This is why it is so important to renew our mind every day. We need to make a conscious effort to slow down and meditate on God’s unfailing love. Paul knew this. He writes, “That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.” But how, how did he renew his mind? He continues, “We don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen.” This “gaze” or focus is what the Psalmist refers to as meditating. It is putting deliberate focused attention on a particular issue. It is the personal consideration of what the thoughts mean and their personal application that make meditating so enriching. Today, don’t just read God’s word; stop and meditate on it and let it effect you in deep and meaningful ways. 

TODAY’S PRAYER

Father, I am so thankful for Your love. You are so real, so relevant to my life. Help me to stop all the madness and slow down long enough to mediate on who You are. Today, as I spend time with You, renew my mind I pray. In Jesus’ name.

AMEN

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION

I renew my mind by meditating on God’s love for me

The Psalmist said that He meditated on God’s love as he worshipped in the temple. Why not now, just bow your head and take a moment to tell God how much you love Him. Thank Him for His love. Stop and think of all that He has done for you. Think of His forgiveness and grace in your life. Let your mind be renewed as you meditate on His love for you.
