REACH OUT TO OTHERS

When God's love is within you, you need to learn to love others like God loves you. That can be a real challenge. I know for me that trying to love someone who is difficult or stubborn is not easy. Many people in the world are hurting or feel like no one cares. Reach out to them expecting nothing in return. Maybe something as simple as a card or an offer to run an errand will make a difference. Don't expect it to happen overnight.

The result of your effort may not be seen for many years but your attempt is at least trying to show an act of kindness. I know one person who has been rather difficult in this community and I forgot one time something that I had done for him. Now that he is in his 80's he tells others that he has no use for anyone else but us. Interesting? You never know what effect your act will have others long term.
