Be Kind

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:31‭-‬32 NIV

I shared just this verse on Twitter this morning because it is so relevant to what we need today. We need love for each other, not hate. We need to get rid of bitterness and anger. Those things are not of God. And if they are not of God we need to ward them off. But we can't do it alone. We need God's grace and love every day to guard our hearts, minds and mouths.

I have made a conscious decision to wake every morning and physically give my day to God along with all of its ups and downs. It's the only way I feel strong enough to face what the day might hold. I also make the decision to enjoy everything that comes my way. And it's not as easy as it sounds. But with God it is possible and it really does lift your spirit.

Forgive often. Speak kindly. Love greatly. For in these things, there is God.
