When we make decisions, we often have a tendency to focus on ourselves. What would be best for us, for our families, for the people we know and care about? Basing a decision on these factors may be easy, but it may, at times, also be selfish. Sometimes we need to do what doesn't come as easily.
God calls us to love and care for those around us, even if those around us do not always show us love and care. It can be hard to be loving and generous in the face of unkind behaviors, but we cannot share God's love if we respond with the same unkind words or actions. Instead, we need to talk to God and ask Him to make our hearts like His, to help us fulfill our calling. When we talk to and trust in God, He can help us do the right thing, even if it is not always the easy thing!
Talk to God so your heart is ready to do the right thing, even if it is not easy!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your love and strength. Help my heart to always be centered on You and Your will. In Jesus I pray, amen.
