Good To All

Psalm 145:9 The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His Works.

It is the end of the work week for most of you. Go ahead and say it, TGIF! Okay now, we have that out of the way, I would like to propose a question. Are you good to all? Do you try to help everyone or just the people who like you? Maybe you'll get a gold star from the world because you feed the hungry at local soup kitchens or you clothe the unfortunate. What if they didn't appreciate what you were doing? Would you still do it? Perhaps, there is a person at work that purposely tries to get on your nerves, have you showed kindness to them? I ask because that is the love God wants us to share not the convienent love the world displays daily.

Apart of this walk is stretching ourselves so that our ways vanish and God's Ways take control. The scripture states The Lord is good to ALL. Yes, His People have better privileges, but He still loves and exercises His Love for everyone. Remember when you weren't saved? How He kept waking you up, stopped terrible harm from coming to you, maybe stopped you from killing yourself? Remember how He cared for you while you weren't thinking about Him, showed mercy towards you while you were sinning up a storm, and only allowed satan so much time with you before He changed your life? Remember? Well, keep that in mind when dealing with that person that seems difficult to love. It's not that we are extending ourselves rather we are exercising God's Love. The less they see of us the more they see of God.

People are use to someone reacting out of anger because of how they mistreat them. That mean person doesn't expect you to buy their lunch, ask them how they are doing, or wish them a happy birthday. I know because I have been there and will forever be there until God calls me home. We are here to glorify God in ALL that we do not just for show. Nothing against feeding the hungry or clothing people, but we can't forget those who hunger and thirst for love in other ways. Someone who needs God's Love to clothe them through your acts of kindness when it is easier to react in anger. So, who have you showed God's Love to this week? Pray and ask God to continue to build you as who He would have you to be, just like Him. A love which shows no bounds to all who walk Earth's grounds. Enjoy your weekend!
