daily prayer

     Good morning! How are we faithing? Headache...ick....We have to remember as we go through our days that the love of God and the love God shows us is how we transfer love to the unloved ones.  Perceived or real, love or lack of love will cause people to act certain ways. Jesus always acted with compassion, even with criminals and the dregs of society as well as the upright.  He chastised the good and the bad. One for sins and the other for lack of that compassion.  The opposite of love is fear so not acting in love is an indication one is scared.  Scared of rejection, scared of words, scared of retaliation, scared of not being loved.  We must learn the put aside our senses some times because we can be deceived.  That person in rags who smells bad may have been hit by a car years ago and left him lacking in his brain. That well off flashy rich guy may be in a funk because of success that only brought wealth and not secure love.  Their actions may be the same and we as believers in the only truth in the world ought to tell them about a savior that grants what they actually are looking for.  Think about this...


2Ti 1:7
For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.

Heavenly Father,
   Thank you for the cross. Thank you for loving us. Help us love and be kind. Help us be vessels of love to the point it overflows all around us. Help us see and speak truth tempered with compassion for others. In Jesus name, amen
