A Cup of Water
"I tell you the truth. If a person helps you by giving you a
drink of water because you belong to the Christ, then that
person will truly get his reward."
-- Mark 9:41 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
The kindness Jesus expects and rewards in his followers is very simple.
God doesn't forget kindness that is demonstrated with actions that are
simple and real. When we are kind to other believers or they are kind
to us, God sees, remembers, and rewards! Of course Jesus didn't want us
to limit our kindness to other believers and he also wanted his
followers to give unbelievers an opportunity to share their kindness
with them as well. Simple acts of kindness by Jesus' followers may be
simple, but they are also a genuine reflection of their Lord's kindness
and compassion that were shared with all sorts of people.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, thank you for sending Jesus who makes your way of life so
simple and clear. Thank you for remembering acts of kindness. Thank you
for those who have demonstrated that kindness to me and to your Son
through their kindness to me. Please bless them. In Jesus' name. Amen.
