Mother, you have the greatest blessing from God, next to your salvation, in your children. Today, even if they have disappointed you or seem to be a burden, remember that God gave them to you to bring them up to serve Him.
Sometimes it is hard and feels like an impossible job, but God is with you to give you wisdom, grace and love for them.
So today, give them your time, kind words and a special hug. You have the greatest gift in them.
Do you find it hard to love some people? Maybe it is a fellow worker, a disagreeable neighbor, someone in your family, a person of another race or religion.
It is a natural reaction to not love someone who has hurt you, but that is the problem. It is a “natural” reaction. The Bible tells us in Ephesians as Christians to put off the old man which is corrupt and put on the new man, which is holy.
How then do we overcome the lack of love in our lives? Start to pray for that person if it is an individual. Ask God to change your heart if it is a group of people.
We cannot be an obedient Christian or have God’s blessings if we have hate in our heart.
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matthew 22:37-39
As Christians we need to have compassion for one another. To our fellow Christians and also to the unsaved.
We will never win the lost by being unkind, rude or unforgiving to them or to our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Others are watching our actions, our speech and even our tone of voice. Courtesy and love to our spouses, children and others is the key to the peace and joy in our homes, workplace and family gatherings.
The unsaved that are watching will then want what we have and we can share the love of Jesus and His forgiveness.
Mistletoe symbolizes the love we are able to offer to others only because of Christ who “first loves us.”
This year, tell your kids about the true meaning of mistletoe. Be sure to let them know that the corresponding kiss is a symbol of peace, romance and the love of a Heavenly Father who we need to rely on in order to find abundant life.
1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
It is time for our Nation to show love one to another. Election in the USA has become a time of fighting and hatred.
As of this morning we still do not have the answer to who is President, but one thing is sure. God is still on the throne, and He tells us to love one another.
It is time to show love to our family, friends and neighbors no matter what their political views or who they voted for.
This story may or may not be true, but it is something to think about. As Christians we must be careful how we treat others. Sometimes our attitude, can make a huge difference in another’s life. Do we forgive others who make a mistake? Are we friendly, kind and helpful to those we come in contact with? Look around and see if you can be the difference in someone’s life today.
Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
This image shows people helping one another and working together to improve their surroundings. As Christians we need to pray for unity of people in our neighborhood, state and the world.
