“Gentle Assistance”

Father God, let this touch someone’s heart today I thank You in Jesus Name Amen.

I used to walk downtown to my job at Mitchel’s Department Store in Massachusetts each afternoon after school. I would clock in and get to working in the gift-wrapping dept. I learned how to wrap gifts so simple and make bows. This store had everything you need to wrap the finest gifts. I was taught how to do this. Well, when the customer would pay us. I would write out the receipt and send it in a small rounded enclosed container, almost what a bank use’s when you drive up and they take your stuff, and a vacuum takes the work to them. How cool. Then they send the change and receipt back to the customer. So, this one day they sent me back more change than was expected. So, I sent it back to the office. Well, the lady come out of the office with the tube. Yelled at me and asked me why I sent it back. I nicely told her. she sent the wrong change back. She looked and realized it was her mistake and apologized to me and went and straightened out the change. I forgave her. Well as I left that day, the lady stopped me and apologized to me again. She asked me if I would help her on Saturdays in the office. I said yes. I am friends with Donna to this day. God trust in each of us to be a light in the lives of others. Our hearts were made for deep relationships with gentleness, kindness and love. Quick to forgive so unity of compassion we can really live. Jesus came in long-suffering in this we should be forgiving, kind, with humility, gentleness, compassion and patience.

Let’s read Colossians 3:12-17 NIV;
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

{Lets Pray}

Father God, I thank You and praise You that You alone are good, and You alone richly provide for all the needs and stability of life, and in Your loving-kindness, You give us over and above all that we need, think or ask. I thank You and praise You for Your steadfast love and gracious provision to us and to all Your creation. I am believing for the wars to cease, and that unity and teamwork prevail. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
