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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-2-19

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.

Some of us have been raised by people who are mean, negative, and degrading. Some people have been deeply scarred by this. Some have gone through things that has caused them to become hard on the inside.

What can we do to fix this? How can we change the way we feel about others?

Our hearts have to be changed. They have gotten hard throughout the journey. They have to be made soft all over again.

Ezekiel 36:26 (NKJV) 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

God will give us a new heart. He will take that abused, damaged, scarred heart and give us a healed, renewed and completely changed heart, all by us saying yes, Lord.

It doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time. But our heart will begin to change and we will start to see a difference once we say yes to God.

When God changes us, we don’t want to look back, unless maybe He wants us to share our testimony to help others.

A kind heart comes when we surrender our broken heart to Him.

Psalm 34:18 (NKJV) 18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-8-19

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

It’s hard to walk in a way such as this without the love of God moving through us. The weakness of our flesh can love someone one moment, and in the next breath tear them apart when they’ve done something wrong.

That is not the kind of love that will stick through thick and thin. That is a fleshly love. That kind of love will not love our enemy. That love will not show up when it’s time to do something good for someone that hates us. It will not bless or pray for those that have hurt us.

Luke 6:27-28 (NKJV) 27 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.

What kind of love will give us the strength to endure such a task? It’s the Holy Spirit taking our heart, one piece at a time, and feeding it God’s very Words from the pages, and us swallowing it and digesting it.

We will see a difference in ourselves when we have fully digested it.

This isn’t always easy. Walking in this kind of love takes time, effort and a whole lot of putting things in God’s hands. But, with His help we can do it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-11-18

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

Kindness seems to have gone out of style for so many. The world is a very busy place, and our lives have gotten busier and busier.

In all of our hustle and bustle, we can tend to get edgy and cranky. And this can make it easy for us to lash out at others over the smallest little things.

Here’s what we all need to understand; everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes we just get hurrying around and make choices in a split second. And those kinds of choices can have drastic outcomes from time to time.

We can say something with the wrong tone that causes conflict or hurts someone’s feelings.

We can make a quick move that puts us or others in danger, like maybe not paying close enough attention while driving a car.

We can make an irrational decision, the outcome of which has lasting effects on our life and the lives of others.

It’s critical that we heed God’s word and sow kindness, tenderheartedness and forgiveness to others. Why? Because God has done the very same for us, through Jesus.

So, let’s slow down, make decisions and choices with a sound mind and the Spirit of God guiding us. And heed His promptings.

Our lives and the lives of others will be much better for it, as we shine His light and sow His kindness to those around us each and every day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-1-17

Ezekiel 36:26 (NKJV) 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

Salvation in Jesus Christ comes with His new Spirit and a change in our heart.

It doesn’t happen as fast as we probably would like it to, but if we stick with Him and let Him train us up, it will change over time.

Have we ever met someone who we know is sincere in what they say and do? You can tell they truly are sincere. You can almost see it in them, without them even saying a word. It is written all over them through their actions. People are like a magnet to this type of character.

That’s the character Christ wants for each one of us. He wants our actions to draw people in, and once they are curious and convinced that we are sincere, they will listen to what we say.

A sincere, kindhearted person will draw people in. It is then that we can show them the One who brought this change to our hardened heart of stone.

Be sincere in what we do and let our kindness show through our words and our actions. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-18-16

Psalm 31:3 (NKJV) 3 For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me.

This very day is here once in our lifetime. God made this day for us to enjoy, for us to be a blessing to others, to make a good or positive difference wherever we go. Wherever we step foot, we are to be a light, to bring life and hope into any dark area.

As we let God lead us today and throughout the week, listen for the voice that is crying out for help. Watch for the one that is lonely and helpless. Look beyond what we may be going through in our own personal lives and let God show us the things we are missing out on; loving others.

Don’t pass by, hoping that someone else will do it. Step up to the plate and be who God made us to be.

Romans 8:37 (NKJV) 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

That’s right, through Jesus Christ, we are more than conquerors. We will get through what we are dealing with and help others to get through theirs as well!

For God is our ROCK and Fortress. He will lead us. Amen.
