Bible Verse of The Day – 11-24-20

Ephesians 4:32 (NKJV) 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

Be kind to one another. Know that, as His child, God is watching us interact with others.

It’s so easy at times to find fault around us and grow cold toward people because of their actions, or maybe because of their personality.

We can completely overlook the good qualities and focus more on the negative if we are not careful.

Maybe we learned this as we were growing up.

Or maybe it’s just our personality type that causes us to see the bad things more readily than the good. Maybe we even like finding things wrong because it gives us a feeling of satisfaction.

We need to make the effort to find good things about others and not be afraid to share it with them.

A short while back, we had to make a trip out of town. While we were away, we found a coffee shop in the area where we stopped in for a bit and got some work done on our laptops.

We had never been there before. But we noticed how nice the people working there were to the customers, how clean the shop was and that the atmosphere there was exceptionally peaceful.

When we went to leave, we stopped and said, “thank you.”  And we told the people how nice it was there and what a good job they are doing.

They were so happy and thankful to hear that.

It takes effort to stop and say something kind. Many times we just don’t take the time to do it. But it’s never too late to make it a habit.

People will never stop us from speaking if we have a kind word to say regarding them. No. It makes their day.

Hold our tongue when it comes to gossiping, or negative talk, but let that tongue go when it comes to encouraging and being kind to others.

God will guide our words; when to hold them and when to let them go.

Job 6:24 (NKJV) 24 “Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

Oh, how powerful kind words are. They will melt the hardened heart and open their eyes to see that God is good.

Let us, God’s children, be the spreader of kindness to others and make their day!! Amen.
