As we begin a new school year, I want my students to do well and to succeed. It is true that I want them to work hard and to grow in their understanding of subject matter. However, I also want them to work hard at growing and developing into the best people that they can be. The same is true in our journey in life...beyond school!
When we follow God, we are called to help those less fortunate and to spread the Good News of our salvation through Jesus Christ. We can give in many different ways, whether our time, talents, or resources. However, we need to do more than just give. We need to give from our hearts. We can care and in the process of giving show God's love, grace, and mercy to those around us!
Work hard to do what is right as you follow God and help others to see Him!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for allowing me to grow and develop in You. Help me to work hard to show others Your love, grace, and mercy. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
