Father God, let this touch someone’s heart and let them know they are loved in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
And above all this put-on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3:14
I remember when I was younger there was this girl with short blond curly hair. She would be mean to us; call us names and we would actually walk on the other side of the street to keep away from her. This one day she followed me and as I was going in the house, she was calling me names. I would ignore her and go in the house. We had tried to be friends and talk nice to her. But she just yelled at us. I thought maybe she just had something wrong with her. Then days went by, and I didn’t see her. Couldn’t understand, but I was enjoying that peaceful walk home. Just saying. We found out from a friend she had passed away. I was upset. I should of prayed from my heart instead of letting fear get the best of me. But who knew. No one taught me to pray from my heart that young. I remember talking to God from my heart though. I felt it when I was just not thinking it. When things was hard not easy I say inside me God help me. Or Oh thank you when something worked out. But you know no matter what someone else does or says pray from your heart always. Cause you do not know what they are going through. I have learned over the years to ask questions even if someone yells in my face. Sometimes its God’s way of telling me to be still and pray for that person and to encourage and bless them in what ever they are going through. Or guide someone who can assist them in what they are going through.
God’s word speaks often about God’s acceptance of us and how we should be accepting of others. When Jesus walked on earth, He was our perfect example of accepting others, no matter their sin or choices. Jesus extended grace and forgiveness to all, and we are commanded to do the same! Accept your people for who they are. The people in your life may or may not have values and habits that are similar to your own. If you re out there in your neighborhood put on love. If you know someone is having it rough ask them if they need any assistance or prayer. Appreciate others for what they do. If you have people in your life who love you, help you, and support you, try to express to them how grateful you are for their encouragement. Thank God for these gifts. God calls us to love others, just as He loves us. We show love to others by forgiving, accepting and honoring them. We can only love others when we are full of God’s love. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” “John 13:34” The bottom line is that simple (not big and glorious) acts of kindness are effective ways of loving others like Jesus. None of these are glamorous. None of them will get you recognized in church. God will bless, compassionately love those and God answers their prayers and you see the blessings from your prayers to God working in others’ lives. This is being the family of God. We are all His treasure and HIs children (The Church).
Here is an ideal project. Help your child place all the small hearts face down in a circle around the large heart. We can teach our children the benefits of prayer and love for others. Have your child turn over the large heart first. Explain that Jesus loves him so much that He puts people in his life, people who love him and whom he can love. When we love Jesus, it helps us to love others. Like you can also make a bunch of large hearts and put his or hers friends name on each heart. So they can see that each friend is just as important as he or she is. If your child should see that a child fell while he is out. You can teach him or her to say Jesus please heal that little boy. When my children was growing up it was easier to teach them to pray and follow Jesus. Once the world get’s them we pray for God to keep them safe, guide Christians in their path to encourage and bless them. We can’t help their choices. Only pray they make the right ones. Amen.
