Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8: [21] For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of men. <\/p>\n
Observation: The first time I saw this scripture I wondered why do I care what others think? Then I remembered my job was to spread the gospel of Jesus and who would listen if they thought I was wrong. So even if I know I\u2019m doing God\u2019s work it must be done in a way that others can see it\u2019s the right thing to do. After all isn\u2019t that part of what love is, caring how others feel.<\/p>\n
Application: I need to be more loving at work and at home. My actions might be right, but when I\u2019m saying something and I\u2019m sarcastic or unsympathetic people won\u2019t want to listen or I\u2019ll hurt their feelings. I need to remember God put people in my path to love them and to share His love with them and I can\u2019t if people think I\u2019m rude or uncaring.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord soften my heart and open my eyes to what you desire of me. Fill me with the Holy Spirit and have love overflow from my words and deeds. I\u2019m here as your ambassador may I be welcoming to those you put on my path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
