All the good that has ever been or will ever be has its beginnings in God. From our inspiration to do small kindnesses for friends, our desire to express love for those dear in our life, or our inclination to offer a smile to a stranger, these are all reminders that God is working in our life. Our willingness to let God’s will be felt by us and then expressed through us is the most complete contribution each of us can make to this spirit-filled world that is our home.
However, none of us is free from our ego that, at times, pushes us to act in self-centered, mean-spirited ways. When we aren’t thinking of God first, we often aren’t inclined toward expressing our better selves.
How well do you do to remember God throughout the day? God gives us opportunities to exercise our willingness to be kind rather than mean and show we’re thinking of others’ needs before our own. This is how we remember and with God’s help, each of us can share in making this a better world for all.
I can do my part toward a better world today by thinking of God during each encounter I have with another person.
Thank you, Lord, for putting people and situations in my path each day to draw me closer to You allowing Your grace to work through me.
