Doing Good

I have talked about this a lot lately.  Not just at Sweet Blessings, but with family, friends and church.  But I really believe God is calling us out to do good.

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9

Our good deeds and kind words touch people.  We may never see the end result of our actions but every time we do something for someone, we are planting a seed, we are showing the love of God.

Yesterday I had to run to the store and while standing in the check out lane I smelled something really good.  It was the cashier.  She had on a lovely perfume.  So I gave her a very small compliment.  I really didn't think anything of it, I was just stating my opinion.  Her response was, "Thank you, but I don't feel so good."  I could see God opening a door.  I asked what was wrong and we chatted for a moment.  I promised to pray for her and even wrote down her request and name, and I have prayed several times for her.  I may or may not ever see her again.  I may never know if she is healed.  But, by the tears in her eyes, I do know she was touched and a seed was planted.

People everywhere are hurting.  As Christians, we are to be a light in this dark and hurting world.  Our positive attitudes, kind words and random acts of kindness offer that Light.

What have you done today to shine the Light of Christ on someone?  What will you do?
