There are constant acts of kindness committed every day. We don't hear about most of them but those that we get a glimpse of really stir me. I think about the police Sgt. in Ocala, Florida that bought breakfast for a homeless man and, then, sat down on the curb and ate with him. Another is a young student buying a meal for a homeless lady. These and the countless others committing these type acts get it.
Yes, there are those who will take advantage of others' good natures but, many truly are genuine in their desire for a little help. I think we often have a tendency to discount others, to overlook others, to even look down on others. I can't help but think of something a good friend told me years ago, "Call no one useless that Christ died for." And, who did Christ die for? Everyone.
Today's word is a Max Lucado quote, which says, "With GOD, every day matters, every person matters."
It is in those moments that we don't feel GOD, that we don't think that He is there, that we don't think He is listening, that He is more there than ever before. It is in those moments when we feel all alone, that He is sitting on the curb with us. Why? Because, with GOD, every moment matters.
It is also true that, with GOD, every person matters. It is not GOD'S will that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Let's take the time to look around and see if GOD is calling us to minister to someone around us. Not for us to get glory or praise but because, with GOD, every day matters and every person matters.
Be Blessed,
