Do you long to know God better? I know I want to be wiser, more skillful, and have a better understanding of the world. This year I have made it a goal to read the Bible every day. So far it is going great. I am reading right now about Joseph and how he followed God with all his heart. God blessed him. We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit and be a light in this world like Joseph was. The words we speak really matter. "Every word we speak can either be a brick to build or be a bulldozer to destroy", writes Joyce Meyer. I now I need to fill my heart with God's word and kind thoughts. That is why I decided reading the Bible more. Because whatever is stored up in your heart, will sooner or later be expressed in your words. I bet we are all guilty of this one way or another. You cannot change your thoughts patterns on your own. You need help from the Holy Spirit fill your heart with God's love and good fruit. Only then will we have God's love overflowing in our hearts and out our mouths.

Are you facing a hard or impossible situation? Stress from work or school? Losing ties with friends? Whatever challenges you may face in this year, nothing is too hard for God. Abraham was a hundred years old and Sarah was ninety. God promised them a son. They said it was impossible. The great question: is anything too hard for the Lord? The answer is no. If Sarah can have birth to a child at her old age (remember ninety years old), then nothing is too hard for God. God loves you with all His heart. Would you think that He would not care for you? Again, this is the same person who created the entire world with His words. Yeah maybe that impossible situation may not be so impossible.
Do you like talking to your friends? I think everyone does. Talking is a way we get closer and grow out frindship. So do you think that God our friend would want us to talk to him? Yeah, probably. Praying or communicating is a way we grow our relationship with Him. God wants to talk to you. All the time He is yearning to talk to you. Why wouldn't He? You are interesting, funny, and God wants to listen to every word. He hears our prayers. Sometimes, I walk and talk with God. I get to walking in God's creation and thank Him for everything. Do you know what the first question God asks in the Bible is? He asked where is Adam and Eve. His first question in the Bible is about us. He wants to be with us and that makes me want to spend time with Him as well.
I think kindness is one of the most amazing things to do. It is also fun to see kindness. Have you ever seen those videos of people doing random acts of kindness? I love watching them. Its great to see how kind this world can be. Even if it is full of sin. Then, I saw a video that didn't seems like the others. The person was basically bragging about doing the kind deed. It did not make me feel warm and fuzzy when I saw him do his act. It seemed like he was waiting until everyone saw his act of kindness. Then they all applauded him for the act. The person receiving the kindness looked confused and so was I. Suddenly I remembered a verse.
"Be especially careful when you are trying to be good so that you don't make a performance out of it. It might be good theater, but the God who made you won't be applauding" Matthew 6:1 God doesn't want us to show off. He wants us to be humble and just be kind because God is kind. Keep it quiet, keep it honest, and keep it simple. That is all we need to do. Just be kind for the heck of it. Not for the views and not for the applause. Maybe we need to think about how we show kindness. |
