Good evening FRiend! *hugs*
And, thank you for this weeks Sunday Chapel! :)
Thank you for today’s message, Brad’s gramma.
It’s so mighty and so small at the same time.
I often find myself rushed and self-occupied...but I’m better lately.
Sometimes all you have to do is recognize that you are sharing a moment...shopping, running errands...etc....
We can keep our heads down day to day.
But lately, I make a point to lift my head and smile at the people I meet.
Just a simple smile given and reciprocated can make a day good.
Corrie ten Boom (1892–1983) was a World War II concentration camp survivor and Christian who became a popular speaker around the world. Thousands attended her meetings as she talked about how she had learned to forgive her captors just as Christ had forgiven her sins.
After each meeting, people surrounded her and heaped accolades on her for her godly qualities and thanked her for encouraging them in their walk with the Lord. Corrie said she would then return to her hotel room, get down on her knees, and present those compliments in thanks to God. She called it giving God “a bouquet of praise.”
The Lord has given each of us gifts to use to minister to one another (1 Peter 4:10) so that “in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever” (v.11). We have nothing to offer others that we have not first received from the Lord (1 Cor. 4:7), so the glory does belong to Him.
To learn humility, perhaps we could follow Corrie’s example. If we receive a compliment for something we’ve said or done, let’s privately give a bouquet of praise to God for the glory He alone deserves.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
