It’s so nice to be around people who are so nice.
The alternative is not what anybody wants to experience.
That’s why I encourage you to think often today about how Jesus interacted with people.
He was always caring, always honest, always kind, always humble, always looking for how to help others and His words never tore people down.
He was the textbook friend.
When He spoke, life-affirming words flowed.
Let’s each pray for conformity to His example.
Let’s make sure that Jesus is Lord over ALL of our heart, not just the “church” part.
For how we speak to others is a direct reflection of the place Jesus has in our hearts.
Jesus said so.
“What you say flows from what is in your heart.” (Luke 6:45)
I love the people God has placed in my life and into my heart.
I just have to make more room in my heart for the words of Christ so that whatever I say to them will be caring, honest, kind, humble, helpful and encouraging.
I pray that you do the same because the world needs more textbook friends.
As always, I love you
Martin
