I was reminded today that we still need to make progress in building relationships, being respectful, and getting along with each other. We need to not only pay attention to our actions, but also to our words. If our words and actions are not rooted in God, we have work to do!
In Philippians, we are reminded to keep God as our focus and to think about things that are noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. It is good to think about things that will help us align ourselves with God. However, once we have the correct mindset, we need to get to work. We need to become active advocates that help spread God's love that brings people together and builds meaningful, lasting relationships. With God, we can do more than think, we can act!
Think about all of the goodness that is God and provided by God, then do more than thinking as you act out of God's love!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your love and all the good that I can focus on in my life. Help me to build on Your goodness and to act in Your love. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
