Have you ever been walking around in a store and a complete stranger will smile and say hello to you walking by? You never know how much a smile, greeting or compliment can brighten someones day. God wants us to show his love. So, push your own selfish motives aside and seek out to speak kindly to someone who seems down; be kind to that grouchy co-worker, professor, boss, classmate, sales associate, etc. John 15:13 says, "greater love has no on than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends". Jesus loved us enough to die for us and he calls us His friends. How much more do you think he requires of us in return to show to others? We have to come to a point in our relationship with Christ, to move beyond our own feelings, and be salt and light in this world. People are watching, and if we say we love Christ we must not be only hearers of the word but doers.... get up and Go!! Be a friend, go out of your own way; this is bigger than you. I implore you today to go out and show kindness; when you do you will have Joy.
May the God of hope fill you with all Joy and Peace in beliving, that you may abound in hope by ythe power of the Holy Spirit. You don't want to miss an ministering moment!!

Reflective Scripture for the week:
1Peter 1:5-8 .....giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perserverance godliness, to godliness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
