Hello everyone,
We are delighted to connect with you today. We see that many of you have made excellent strides in communicating God‘s love to those around them and we are delighted! We ask that you take some time to continue to think about how you can best serve the needs of others in your community, by this we mean, thinking about and spreading God‘s love to all of those around you. Think about the different instances throughout your day, that naturally occur, and how you can make a difference in another person‘s life.
We want you to focus on this when you have time and are able to concentrate so that you can do the best job on focussing on how to expand and build on the work you have already done. Take some time to think about your day, how you begin your day, the people you come in contact with, the situations that arise throughout the day, who you come in contact with, and how you interact with them.
Think about if there’s any improvements that you can make in these interactions, particularly with strangers, for those can be the most rewarding interactions of all. When you interact with someone who is not expecting to be blessed by your presence and all that you have to offer another person in this lifetime.
We have many opportunities in our lifetime to share God‘s love, but sometimes we are blind to this, and do not see the opportunities before us. We sometimes are lost in the activities of our daily lives and forget the people that we interact with that are right in front of us. So take some time to really think about all those that you interact with. Is there anyone that you see, or come in contact with, throughout the day that you can possibly make their day better by a pleasant word, a financial donation, a cup of coffee or a lunch?
Often times we go about our days with a sort of tunnel vision where we are focussed on activities at hand and getting them accomplished in the most expedient and direct way; instead of thinking more broadly about the people we interact with and the situations that arise.
So please take some time to think about every day of your week, and as you go about this next week think about those individuals and how you can perhaps enhance their life, by a kind or tender word, a small donation, a wonderful, caring gesture, or any other kindness that you think is appropriate. These many kindnesses that we can show one another are gifts that you give to one another. These gifts can be small in nature but have the biggest impact.
So continue to think about what you should do as you go about your day and how fast you can make the impact that you are able given your life circumstances. Think about those you come in contact with and those people that are sometimes unseen people. The people that we often walk by, or don’t care to speak to, or are uncomfortable around. For those are the ones that we often ignore and often require the most and deepest care imaginable. Consider giving them your gift of caring and sharing God‘s love in whatever way works best for you given your your life circumstances. Again, it can be the smallest of gestures that have the biggest impacts so please do not minimize your contributions.
If you feel that you have many restrictions in your life, please remember that it does not take a lot to make a big impact on a stranger’s life, knowing that you care and want the best for him or her. Anything you do for another is considered a gift, a gift of time, a gift of energy, a gift of space, a gift of caring, and all these can be gifts that you give. And again,that do not cost a lot, but show another person in this world how much you care about them, and that they matter, and in this world, at this time, that is huge!
So as you go about your daily activities try and remember to think about this as you sit on a bus, as you sit in a cab, as you drive to work, as you take the train, think about those people sitting next to you, the people standing up by you, the people walking by, these are individuals that you can have a positive interaction with. Show them that you care, help them in some small way, for all these things really matter and contribute to the greater good more than you know.
We wish you a good week with strength and courage in your own life and to help you overcome your struggles, just as you are trying to help those who are also struggling, but perhaps in a different way. Both of you could be going through some tough times and we acknowledge that, but there’s always room to show a little kindness to one another regardless of what you are going through.
So take some time to care for yourself, and for those around you, for both of you are likely needing the support and encouragement of each other. Take good care of yourselves as we see the suffering that is going on in this world and we wish you always the best.
Much love to you now and always.
