Blessing For TodaySample

Spic and Span 

Many years ago, as I was driving very fast, I saw a man on his cycle cutting across the road in front of my car. Irritated by his foolish action, I scolded him in my mind saying, “Fool! You’re riding in the middle of the road. Don’t you have any sense?” By then, I had to stop at the traffic signal. My car moved close to the cyclist and stopped. I rolled down the window pane and was about to shout at him. The moment the cyclist saw me he shouted with joy saying, “Oh, it is Bro. Paul Dhinakaran, Praise the Lord, brother. I was longing to meet you in person. At last, God has answered my prayer!” Immediately, I was convicted in my heart that my thoughts should be kind and considerate at all times. 

What would have happened if I had shouted at him? I would have lost my testimony in life at that point. It is very essential to keep ourselves clothed with kindness and forgiveness at all times. My friend, keep yourself approachable. Let not your impatience or unforgiving attitude stop the flow of the gospel of Christ into the lives of others. Enter this day spic and span with the mind of Christ. 

Prayer

“Loving Father, help me to guard my heart and my lips from perverse speech. Help me to show Your light in my attitude towards people. Let my words and actions shed love and life into the lives of others. Thank You for transforming me and renewing my mind. This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.” 

‘Display the fruit of the Spirit at all times’
