“What if we were all more caring and showed much kindness? What if we treated one another with love, respect, and compassion? What if we simply took the time to consider someone else? What if we truly understood that we are all on the same journey in life?

What if we spoke to each other and treated one another the way we ourselves would want to be spoken to and treated? I think sometimes in life we all lose sight of what is truly important, of what really means the most and that is people, our families, and our friends.

But who are our family and friends? Who are our brothers and sisters? Who is our neighbor? Is it only those we are related to or the ones who live next door?

The Word of God says that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ (Hebrews 13:1). Amen!

For we all have one Savior and one heavenly Father, and His name is Jesus Christ. He is our Lord and our Father. I pray that we all come to understand that each of us is made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27).

Just imagine what could change in our lives and in our world if only we loved and treated everyone as we ourselves want to be loved and treated. If only we remembered that everyone is fighting a battle, seen or unseen. We all face struggles in this life, for we live in a fallen world.

God tells us, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33). Praise the Lord!

When we choose to help each other through the hard times of life—when we reach out in love instead of turning away—life becomes so much richer and sweeter for us all. I want to encourage each of you to be kind to others. Go the extra mile. Try to understand why someone might act the way they do.

If we considered what a person has been through, we might better understand who they are. Love works wonders on hardened hearts. It brings healing to wounded and weary souls. Love changes things in ways that are hard to explain. When we look beyond faults and choose to love, to give, and to act as God calls us to, we reflect His love.

The Word says it’s easy to love those who love us—but “what reward have you?” (Matthew 5:46). Amen!

So today and every day that follows choose to be different. More than that, choose to love as Christ loves. Never forget that we are His hands and His feet, reaching out to a lost and hurting world that needs a Savior, that needs God’s love, His healing, and His marvelous grace.

Do your best with others, always loving all and not just a few. Walk and abide daily in our Lord’s grace and mercy. Amen!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
