Today's Word
Make a Difference in Someone's Life
Jesus gave His life for you. That's a truth that fills us with joy, isn't it?
But the Bible tells us that as followers of Jesus, our duty is to do the same for our brothers and sisters. That's where things get tougher.
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
1 John 3:16
When we see a brother or sister in need, our reaction should be to do everything within our reach to help. The passage challenges us to act in love by putting others' needs before our own, just as Jesus did.
Perhaps the Holy Spirit has brought someone to your mind right now. Don't waste time; act like Jesus. Go and help. Give of yourself. This is the greatest blessing anyone can receive. And it makes all the difference.
Yesterday's Word
Who are you waiting for?
Lord, have mercy on us;
for we put our hope in you!
Be our strength every morning,
our salvation in times of trouble.
- Isaiah 33:2
When we go through difficult and distressing times, we long for someone to reach out a hand and lighten our burden. But in reality, no human being can relieve all anguish or satisfy all the desires of another person. All human beings are imperfect, we have weaknesses and we fail.
God is the only one who can truly understand us and reach the depths of our hearts. Only He can bring peace in the midst of life’s storms and fulfill our deepest desires. You can trust Him completely to help you endure and persevere through distress. He can bring peace to your heart and heal the wounds caused by disappointment and pain.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
- Psalm 73:25–26
When you feel like you’re fainting and can’t take it anymore, God can give you new strength and encouragement. Tell Him how you feel and open your heart to receive His comfort and renewal.
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
- Psalm 147:3
Today, bring your anxieties, desires, and worries to the Lord and wait on Him. He will come to your aid, heal you, and strengthen you!
