Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you (Ephesians 4:31-32, NIV).
So many situations in life can make people pop a cork and overreact. Recently an influx of grocery pickups at my nearby Wal Mart and lack of sufficient employees got the few employees helping scrambling and apologizing. What an opportunity to be a witness.
Three different young men came to my vehicle, first Jeremiah, then James, then Timothy. How cool is that all these biblical names. I told them all is well I am doing fine instead of overreacting.
Many moments present themselves to sharing Christ through kindness and love and even laughter. So whatever you are facing today take a deep breath and before spouting off be cool and thank God first for life then for an opportunity to be out and about as many are shut in.
PRAYER: Show me how to make a difference in a life today either by simply listening, stepping out, praying, giving, sharing, calling a friend who I have not spoken to in a long time just whatever I want to be used to help someone be lifted from their pit. In Jesus’ nam. Amen.
