Good morning everyone! I hope you're doing well and I hope you know God loves you. =)
I was doing my devotions this morning and this verse hit me like a ton of bricks. We, as children of God sometimes forget how much mercy and forgiveness our Father has shown us. We get offended or angry at others but we expect God to forgive us for what we do against Him!
When the cashier is new and slower than we like-show them mercy! Tell them what a good job their doing and thank them. Stop complaining because you are not perfect either!
When a waitress has an attitude-let them know things will get better and you will be praying for them, or pray for them right there! Then bless them with a bigger tip. Stop posting about it on FB, you are not perfect!
Show God's love everywhere!!
Come on, be DIFFERENT than the rest of the world. Why do children of God look like everyone else when we have Jesus and His love inside of us??
We are called to be different and show love where ever we go! Did we forget something so important such as this?

@Ladyduck Oh I agree but especially as followers of Jesus this is our calling in life. Not to get anything in return or because we might need something one day-but because God loved us first and gave first to us. =)

@LovingMyBabies I see that my husband follows this same rule, even if he was born in a Jewish family.

@DianneN Nope it doesn't but walking like Jesus is what we are called to do when we are children of God. By calling ourselves Christians we have greater responsibility in life-to show love and bring others to God.

@DianneN You believe in God though, right? He wants love to be shown to all since God is good and love.
All children of God should be examples of Him, by showing goodness.

@LovingMyBabies I don’t believe in Jesus, and I’m sure you know that by now. However, kindness and respect should be taught to all.

Jesus answered well when asked "What is the greatest commandment?" He answered the question with 2 answers. He said what the greatest commandment and what the second greatest commandment was also. The He provided the Greatest Example with His own life.

@cmoneyspinner The greatest of these is love. We should always remember the love, mercy and grace we are shown!

Amen!!!
There is good in all situations! The other day, my family was on the road going somewhere. It was dark, raining, and these roads are dangerous. Out of nowhere, a car almost hits us and takes off up front ahead! I was sooo mad at first. Then I started thinking, why am I mad? like really? thankfully we were not hit!
And with them driving ahead, it made it easier to see the outline of the road!

@Daelii I'm so glad you weren't hit and very grateful it ended the way it did! =)
I'm also glad you stopped to think, there was good in what happened since you weren't hit.

Very good post. I always thought I was the same as everyone, to do everything normally that everyone should do, but as the years passed, I realized that I was different in the world of the same. Maybe it did not bring me good, but I'm glad I'm different, because I always try to be better.

@Nevena83 We are all different, God has created us all to be unique. :) It's good to be different and especially in a Godly way! I love being a daughter of God.

That is a good reminder to all of us. Sometimes we forget that and its good once in a while to be reminded of such things. Your post is really wonderful and it makes me think and reflect of my attitude. Yes, we should always be humble. We are nothing without God. We should focus our eyes and heart on Him and be an obedient child.

We should be kind towards others even when they are not kind to us. No one is perfect.

@Courage7 I understand, even in sad situations the world should see Jesus in us when life/satan squeezes us too hard.
