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 – 5-27-17

Romans 12:10 (NKJV) 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;

This is a good verse to remember when we feel hurt, looked down on, or even rebuked at times by loving brothers and sisters in Christ.

Maybe we can recall times of being accused of something we hadn’t done. Or maybe we didn’t agree with them in some way, and all of a sudden they don’t know us. They don’t talk to us or want anything to do with us.

What are we to do when we feel rejected by others and we really have no idea what the reason is?

In our hearts we have to know that God sees it all. But, He doesn’t always want us to step out and speak or try to fix it. It does not mean that we have to remain in a situation of abuse either.

It means that when and if He wants us to respond in any way, we need to let Him lead us in love.

Brotherly love goes a long way, especially in moments when we have to pull on God for it because on the inside we are feeling empty.
