Kindness often consists in loving people more than they deserve.
Always be kind to others, regardless of what you think they deserve. God put us on earth to serve one another, not to judge one another.
See that no one returns evil for evil; rather, always seek what is good [both] for each other and for all.
1 Thessalonians 5:15
Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us daily.
Don't wait for a great opportunity to help someone. Take advantage of all the small opportunities you have today. Each one has the potential to have great results.
But you say, ‘Whoever says to father or mother, “Any support you might have had from me is dedicated to God,”
Matthew 15:5
You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
Doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you is somewhat contrary in today's culture, but it is very consistent with God's teaching. Strive to live a perfect day.
The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, ‘Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.’ Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?”
Luke 10:35-36
Every blade of grass has its own Angel that bends over it and whispers, "Grow, Grow"
Sometimes it is easy to get lost in the crowd and feel your life is not significant. Just as God is concerned with the growth of each blade of glass, allow your heart to be filled with the joy of knowing that God loves you and has a specific plan just for you.
Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows. I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before others the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels of God.
Luke 12:6-8
Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It’s not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it’s when you’ve had everything to do, and you’ve done it.
God wants well accomplished sheep in His flock. Remember to be all that you can be today and every day – you will find an inner peace and satisfaction knowing you have accomplished your best.
LORD, you will decree peace for us, for you have accomplished all we have done.
Isaiah 26:12
You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.
Ask God for the courage to focus less on “the way things used to be”, and to find ways to live more fully today and to look forward to tomorrow.
On a good day enjoy good things, and on an evil day consider: Both the one and the other God has made, so that no one may find the least fault with him.
Ecclesiastes 7:14
Policemen’s motto: “To Protect and to Serve.”
We as Christians are like God’s policemen here on earth. PROTECT your faith by defending it. SERVE the Lord in everything you do.
Do not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer; for the LORD, your God, is testing you to know whether you really love the LORD, your God, with all your heart and soul.
Deuteronomy 13:4
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.
Reflect on your lifestyle for a minute. If you can't invite Christ to hang out with you tonight, then maybe you should reconsider your plans.
Let those who say to me “Aha!” Be made desolate on account of their shame.
Psalm 40:16
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
Make kindness a daily habit. The benefits might not be immediately realized, but over time, will break down barriers.
[And] be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.
Ephesians 4:32
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Don't underestimate the impact you have on those around you. Make the extra effort today, no matter how small, to do something positive for someone. A little good goes a long way.
As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.
1 Peter 4:10
Good actions are the invisible hinges on the doors of Heaven.
People often overlook the value of the hinges on a door but the door would not function without them. Likewise, a Christian community cannot thrive without good actions. Every time you open a door let it serve as a reminder to do a good action.
We are not boasting beyond measure, in other people’s labors; yet our hope is that, as your faith increases, our influence among you may be greatly enlarged, within our proper limits,
2 Corinthians 10:15
Be Mine…True Love…Friends 4ever…I Luv U…All messages found on Valentine Candy Hearts. All messages from God to you.
Remember today, and everyday, how much God loves you. Happy Valentine’s Day from the TAG Team.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, brought us to life with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
Ephesians 2:4-5
The price of hating other human beings is loving oneself less.
Give a gift of love to someone and see how you feel. The key is that the gift has to be one out of Christ's Love. Think about what that gift should be, and then act upon it.
I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.
John 13:34
Three keys to more abundant living: caring about others, daring for others, sharing with others.
Dare to share your care today!
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Luke 6:31
The Word of God confronts us as our adversary before it becomes our Lord and Master.
When you find a passage in the Bible that makes you feel uncomfortable, don't be discouraged. Pray about it and let God use this to bring you closer to Him and his will for your life.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Timothy 3:15
He sends you a sunrise every morning. Face it friend, He is crazy about you!
As we all know – He – does a lot more than that. Stop and count your blessings, today, right now. Remember when you are done to give Him thanks and praise.
And say, “Save us, O God, our savior, gather us and deliver us from among the nations, That we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in praising you.”
1 Chronicles 16:35
Heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
Christians have always faced challenges, heckling, and even punishment by nonbelievers for expressing their faith. Jesus gave his life so that we could be forgiven and all he asked is that we believe in Him. Be a Hero and share your faith with others – it needs to be done…
Then the angel said to the women in reply, “Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.”
Matthew 28: 5-7
Temptation usually comes through a door that has deliberately been left open.
Today marks the day that many Christians remember the temptation that faced Jesus in the desert – the temptation over which He prevailed. Think of a temptation in your life that is difficult for you to control, and that you would like to see gone from your life forever. Commit to yourself and to God in prayer, that you will control this temptation for the next 40 days. You might find that you can close that door completely.
And they consulted together to arrest Jesus by treachery and put him to death.
Matthew 26:4
If you can’t feed a hundred people, feed just one. - Mother Theresa
God may be calling you to serve His kingdom on earth in a very simple way. Listen to his call today and help one of His children in whatever way He leads you – great or small.
And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’
Matthew 25:40
Such a blessed people should be a thankful people.
As you pray today, don’t make any request. Instead, spend your prayer time thanking God for all your blessings. Start by thanking Him for the gift of eternal life and go from there…
Therefore, we who are receiving the unshakable kingdom should have gratitude, with which we should offer worship pleasing to God in reverence and awe.
Hebrews 12:28
Character is not made in a crises, it is only exhibited.
Your Christian character is made by practicing those things that strengthen your relationship with God: prayer, studying scripture, meditation and daily devotionals. Commit yourself to these today, and everyday in preparation for your next crisis.
Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope,
Romans 5:3-4
