Make me a blessing
Make me a blessing
I have a daily inspirational calendar on my study table, and each day I'll flip to the date to see what the Lord wants to remind me from it. The words for today are as follow:-
"Into our lives come many things to break the dull routine, things we had not planned on that happen unforeseen ... An unsought word of kindness, a compliment or two sets the eyes to gleaming - like crystal drops of dew.
And the verse for the day - Prov 25:25 Good news from far away is like cold water to the thirsty.
Today open the window of your heart and let your light and love shine through. The happiness you share with others will circulate back to you."
Incidentally, that is exactly the reminder I need, as I reflect back on certain things that happened during the week, or some things I said, or some reaction/responses I made. While I have received blessings and love from people around me, have I been selfish in blessing others around me? I guess my tendency is to be nice to those that are within my clique, but that's really something I have to learn - to move beyond my comfort zone and bless others who are within my scope as well. God has given me opportunities to do so - it's up to me whether to take it or leave it, and I pray that I'll act upon it. Would you pray along with me that I'll be a blessing, and not a stumbling block, to people around me?
