Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
What of Today’s Verse…
For the rich and poor, young and hold, weak or strong, skinny or fat, there is still just one message and one name and one story that makes the eternal difference — it is the Gospel, the story of Jesus Christ.
Let us Pray:
Great Redeemer, make me bolder to proclaim the Gospel today. Give me eyes to see those who are waiting to be told. Fill me up with your Spirit so that I will not be ashamed, and help me gladly proclaim the story of Jesus so others may know your grace. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Kindness
With every act of kindness, I send a lifeline of love to someone.
What does being kind really mean? I know what kindness feels like when I receive it from a friend who is gentle with my emotions and thoughtful of my feelings. Then I know I have experienced the kindness of someone who has a reverence for life.
What a delight it is to lovingly hold a newborn baby in my arms. As its tiny hand wraps around my finger, I have an understanding of the baby’s simple, yet fragile needs. This is how it feels to be kind.
With joy, I discover ways to act with care and compassion toward others–creating a lifeline of love in action that connects from one to yet another.
Kindness is love in motion, given and received in appreciation for all creation.
“I was to them like those who lift infants to their cheeks. I bent down to them and fed them.” —Hosea 11:4
