Everything Matters

By Paula Williamson, guest writer

What we do, don’t do, say, don’t say, acknowledge, and don’t acknowledge all matter. Everything matters and makes a difference, for better or worse. In the book “The Butterfly Effect,” every action sets off a chain reaction. We all create a ripple effect that we may never see or know, but it’s true. No person and no action is insignificant, from a smile to a pay-it-forward. Why not spend our days releasing good?

It Is Written

GALATIANS 5:13 -14 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. ¹⁴ For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.

What Kind of Mark Will You Leave Today?

What does "love your neighbor as yourself" mean? Did you clothe yourself today? Did you feed yourself today? Did you meet your basic needs? Did you come across someone who didn’t? We are not to use our freedom to serve ourselves but Christ, who gave Himself for us. Our lifestyle doesn’t earn us salvation. It shows the world that we are a child of the King, serving Him rather than ourselves. It’s really pretty simple: just love.

Prayer

Lord, there is no greater love than Yours. When I place my own beside Yours, I know I need to draw on Yours. Yours never runs low or runs out, and it is deeper and wider than any human love. Your supply is always there. In our weakness, You fill us to overflowing, and in the exchange, we learn more and more about You and Your nature. Thank You. Would You fill us today with an abundance of Your love to shower it on a world where it is in short supply?

Takeaway

God’s love never runs out.
