Daily Prayer

Good morning! How did we faith this weekend? I sure don't like this daylight savings time stuff! Messes me up for a few days. I have been noticing alot of things lately that have bearing on lives around us and how we impact those lives. What we do may be insignificant to us but may be huge to someone else. A kind word, a smile and a hello, an inquisitive response to a complaint. Really listening and offering compassion really goes far. Jesus was the best listener and responder. Our Lord was able to see the heart and see the pain. Can we not only show but actually have that compassion for others? I've caught myself shaking my head and wondering why that person could miss something so obvious but then realize that they are not where they can spiritually or mature enough or they would. Is that a slam? Not all! That's reality and the start of true compassion. The desire to show as well as speak compassion will help others grow. We were all created the same way but are different. We were all made in God's image and have a purpose. Finding that purpose can be hard when you are wrapped up in this world and self. We need to pray and study and open our eyes to the truth and not the appearances around and then we can help others do the same. Is it our job to point out efficiencies? Sometimes yes but most times a hug and a kind word does more.

Psalms 139:13-14
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
KJV

Hebrews 4:12-13
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
NIV

Sometimes the reflection of God in us is the only time another soul may see God's works. Sometimes when others are destitute we bring a ray of hope for them and by the grace of Jesus do we do that. Remember where you came from and what you have been forgiven for and then compassion for someone who is where you were comes out.

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for being so graceful towards us. Help us pass on the same so we don't create doubt in others. Lord we ask for your blessing on our leaders and our Pastors. Guide them so they have the rock of your grace as their foundation. Lord help our eyes see truth and not be misled by lofty thoughts and words. Help us see truth that you make. In Jesus name, Amen
