Gods rich grace and mercy has ushered in a brand new day. I am so thankful that He has granted us several opportunities as we welcome another blessed day. As we yield to Him, there are several ways that He desires we let others know of His great love for all mankind. A simple smile sends forth a dynamic message of assurance and reassurance that things will get better, this too shall pass, and that all is well, or its going to be alright. It also shows a sign of the inward peace that dwells within. A warm embrace indicates that you have so much love that you want to share it; it also sends a message that the recipients of that embrace are not walking alone; you simply want to let them know that they are in your thoughts and prayers. When we encourage others, we speak from experiences most times, because lifes lessons have taught us how to persevere, lean not to our own understanding, trust God, go through the storms, knowing that God is with us, recognizing that God has a definite plan for our lives, trusting His will for our lives, and we gladly tell of our triumphs, all because of God. In a world where so many things are happening; some good, some bad, and some eye opening, to say the least, we are yet blessed. There are several people situated around the world that desire to have just a portion of some of the blessings many times we take for granted on a daily basis (not just material things; simple things like pure drinking water, people that truly love and care for them, a decent meal, necessities that would make life more meaningful, etc.) It is essential that we seize every moment to offer up praise and thanks to God for His abundant mercy and grace given unto us day after day. Beloved, as we go through this day, let us be mindful of the plight of others, near and far, let us pray without ceasing, let us strive even harder to be kind to all people, and let us yield to God in a more earnest way by loving instead of hating, reaching out instead of pushing away, getting to know God in a real way by listening as He speaks to us in so many ways about how to handle different situations instead of being caught up in self, sowing discord, backbiting, back stabbing, slurring, and using the other means that do not honor God. Every body is some body.......God can make tremendous changes; all He needs is yielded individuals who will say: Lord, here am I; use me for your glory. God bless you all. Make the best out of the opportunities presented unto you this day. Honor God, brighten the corner where you are, and endure hardness as a good soldier; resting assured that you are not alone.
