when was the last time you helped to put a smile on someones face..."just because?" or just helped spread random acts of kindness..."just because?" when was the last time i did? as a Christian those simple acts are done for a purpose...to show the love of Jesus and to spread it wherever we go. when is the last time you got so caught up in your life that you forgot to reach out and touch another persons life? when is the last time i did? God has placed us where we are throughout the day, where we live, where we attend church, where we work, for very specific reasons, nothing is coincidental with God, everything is directed by Him and serves a purpose. but, far too often opportunities to be His hands and His feet aren't carried through because we are "living" our lives. i allow too many days to pass in which i don't do any of the above. so many opportunities to shed some light, to share some love, to give some support just slips right through my fingers, or passes me right by because i am in deep thought about...well, myself. i'm engulfed within my own world that i become blinded by what is going on all around me. do you ever experience this? i'm sure each one of us have to some degree, some more so than others. as Christians we are to share Gods love in several ways, and you know what? the world is watching. why does it seem so difficult to carry out some of these simple things? i believe it is because satan clouds our view, gets us so wrapped up in "our own life" and we get in such a hurry that we loose sight of what really matters. but, actually when the rubber meets the road, we make the choice. we choose to allow satan to gain the victory, and yes it is a very big victory. i allow him to gain this victory far too often, sometimes i allow myself to become so lame that i hand it right over to him, instead of claiming the power of God, standing strong and firm and doing what is right. Jesus Christ has called each one of us who claim to be Christians to do the right thing, to reach out to a world that desperately needs love, needs random acts of kindness. it may seem like a little thing to do, and yet we pass up opportunities that are so simple, help put a smile on someones face, share the love of Jesus Christ. just remember behind every set of eyes is a story...we honestly do not know the impact that being kind and bringing a smile to someones face can do. i personally need to look past myself and place my attention onto those around me, God will bless even the seemingly smallest of things done in His name.
