What am I thankful for 5 things?
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:10 NLT) (Same verse again)
“We can do the good thing.” The second greatest commandment states, “Love one another.” What does this mean? We can start with taking the focus off- of ourselves and find someone to do “good” to. We can pick a family member, a friend, someone who seems down…anyone.
This probably sounds silly, but my phone reminds me every few hours to “be the blessing.” This simple phrase reminds me, to quit focusing on my own stuff and go bless someone. These three words “be the blessing” have interrupted my selfish thoughts, my worry, my insecurity…This reminder puts a smile on my face and leads to this question: What can I say or do right now that would bless someone?
What phrase could you put on your phone as a reminder to “do good” to others?
Blessing, helping, thanking, reaching out- does something mysterious to our own souls. When we are doing good to others-we feel better, because we think better, which leads to living better!
May we challenge ourselves to pick one person a day to bless.
God, remind me to look outside of my stuff to do good to others, I invite You to interrupt my selfish thoughts. In Jesus name
