Sugar Bears Serendipitous Thoughts for today.
On the job or in the home, chances are you have a mental "to-do" list laying around within you. A well- compiled task list keeps us on track by establishing benchmarks for the day, the week, and the year. Have you ever thought about updating your "Eternal Life Checklist " that includes being, kind, compassionate and forgiving?
"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you". Ephesians 4:32
Being kind to one another involves caring for others, bearing their burdens, and valuing them above ourselves (Romans 12:10; Galatians 6:2; Philippians 2:3). Kindness motivates us to speak life and encouragement to others instead of death and discouragement and being polarizing (Proverbs 16:24; Ephesians 4:29; 1 Thessalonians 5:11).
Expressing support and affirmation instead of condemnation is characteristic of kindness (Proverbs 15:4).
Being kind to one another means finding a way to forgive, now I'm not saying you have to trust them. Let us learn and be taught a simple truth: sinful people will fail us, but we can always trust in God. (Matthew 5:7; Luke 6:36; 10:37; James 2:13).
Perhaps the most stunning example of this is found in God’s supreme act of kindness that provided for our forgiveness and salvation when He sent His Son to die for us on a cross: “Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your transgressions? 1” Romans 2:4
We have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7).
Only God can take brokenness and make it beautiful. God receives the glory for anything we do that pleases . Make the first step of change and see the evidence of God's new life within you? There is nothing better!
Gods Blessing to you and this Ministry!
