Providence 365: Week 8 -
(Copied and Pasted from http://www.faithsister.com/)
Did you do any little random acts of kindness today? Or, for that matter, any big planned acts of kindness?
How about cuddling a child who's crushed with emotion?
Making a special dessert for a good report card?
Holding open a door for a frail elderly woman?
Finishing up adoption papers for your new child?
Sharing a meal with a lonely neighbor?
Visiting with sick and dying friend?
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
According to Ephesians 2:10, those little deeds of kindness you do aren't “random” at all. They are God's Providence, actually planned from long ago, just for you! Doesn't that change your attitude? It does mine!
It means that you were placed in your life for a purpose. Perhaps today, it's to give the homeless man in front of Trader Joe's a sandwich. Maybe tomorrow, it's mailing an encouraging card to your pastor. Yesterday, it might have been just to give the harried barista at Starbucks a sincere thank you and a smile.
So, this week, I'm encouraging you to look for those opportunities to do good deeds. Not to gain approval from men, but out of a sincere heart of gratitude for the wonderful act of kindness God did for you through His Son.
