Reflection
Points:
Why do we go through hard times where our circumstances don't seem to change? Because God loves us too much to leave us the way we are. It's not about changing the adverse circumstances. It's about embracing God's plans for the circumstances and allowing Him to have His full way in us. Find a perspective beyond your own. Only then can you find incredible peace in the storms of life.
Power
Verses:
Colossians 4:6, "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." (NIV)
Luke 6:32-36, "If you love only the people who love you, what praise should you get? Even sinners love the people who love them. If you do good only to those who do good to you, what praise should you get? Even sinners do that! If you lend things to people, always hoping to get something back, what praise should you get? Even sinners lend to other sinners so that they can get back the same amount! But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without hoping to get anything back. Then you will have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God, because he is kind even to people who are ungrateful and full of sin. Show mercy, just as your Father shows mercy." (NCV)
