“You can tell what they are by what they do” Matthew 7:16 CEV

Sometimes we forget God created us for service. He provides the way to focus on the needs of others and allow them to recognize the offering of love. He prepares us to work for Him. But, often we say, “Let someone else do it.” We forget that opportunities to serve often bring the greatest rewards. 

God wants to use us for His purpose. He humbles our hearts, so we will clearly see why working for Him is more than just an obligation. “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.” Hebrews 6:10 NIV 

When we take time to care for others, we allow the love of Christ to shine through. Even the smallest gestures of kindness will make a difference. God will bless the heart of those who receive an offering of love. Surely, He will bless those who share it. 

Dear God, Thank you for Your love. Help us recognize the needs of others and learn to respond with a caring heart. We will honor You with our love, as we’re used for Your great purpose. Teach us to care for one another as You care for us. Open our hearts to the blessing of Your greatness and show us how it feels to gratefully give… Amen
