Devotional
So, another great lifestyle that works really well is having the attitude to care more about others. Our human mind is naturally egocentric. It thinks more about self, self and self. But when we think more about others, sharing God’s love with them and sharing in their joy, troubles and difficulties (Rom 12:15); it gives us sure confidence and makes us so responsible. Any wonder, the Bible says in Phil 2:4,
Key Scripture
Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.Phil 2:4 NIV
Refreshing for the Day
This selfless act of love has a way of building us up in love (1 Cor 8:1), gives us inner peace and makes us feel better. So, beloved, let us learn to get our mind off ourselves all the time and develop the lifestyle of thinking and caring more about others. This is how it works, go to God in prayer, ask Him to show you how you can be a blessing to others and a way to help make someone else’s life better. Stay Refreshed!
Note This
There’s really no end to the ways we can show God’s love to someone around us. A simple word of encouragement and a random act of kindness can go a long way.
