It is the little touches that add up the most...saying the kind word, smiling at the lonely, helping someone know they are not alone that really let us show Christ's light in a daily way.
I read a quote today that says a lot: Mercy glorifies the one who receives it. Do-gooding glorifies the one who originates it.
When we do these things out of mercy, following Jesus, because we love Jesus, we aren't looking to toot our own horns. We are reaching out because of love. If we get into the do-gooding frame of mind, it's cause we want to look good, and that takes a big, noteworthy gesture.
Acting out of love, even if it seems tiny is worth so much more than doing a huge thing because it makes us look good. And we all have that within our means.
God is so good, to let such little things matter so much!
Amen, Knitting, I agree with every word!
