Give it away!

Jesus demonstrated friendship by being available, compassionate, self sacrificing and tender.
He anticipated the needs of others.
Others are watching what you do.  
It is the actions in the small things as well as the big things that grab their attention!

"My God shall supply all your needs."   -Philippians 4:19

Trust God with your needs and give to others.
His provision frees us to be able to give.
I don't know about you, but I know that I am naturally self centered and a 'survivalist'.
I tend to hold tight the things I think I will need.
"Be transformed (changed) by the renewing of your mind.   -Romans 12:2

"Give away what you can.   When supply seems short there is a blockage.   Giving away clears that blockage and lets My spirit flow.   Beyond all words is My love and care for you.   Be sure of it.   Rejoice in it.   Walk in My love.   There is a joy, a spring, a gladness of those who walk in My love.   That walk becomes a glad conquering and triumphant march.   So walk." -God Calling    

What did Hannah do when she was troubled?  She looked up and poured out her heart to God. -1 Samuel 2
She went from weakness to strength and it started with an honest heart to heart with God.

Concentrate on discovering the good things in people and encourage them to enjoy doing good things.

Whenever you react with praise and thanksgiving for an opportunity to grow more like God, instead of grumbling and self pity, you will find that the whole situation will be changed into a blessing.  "There will come a day when we shall understand, when these tragedies that may blacken and darken the very air of heaven for us will sink into their places in a scheme so magnificant, so joyful that we shall laugh for wonder and delight." -Arthur Bacon

Learn the lesson of trust and calm in the midst of the storm.   Whatever sorrow or difficulty the day may bring.    Still love and laugh.
Leave every soul the braver and happier for having met you.
Do not fear.   Look on every fear not as a weakness on your part due to illness or worry but as a very real temptation to be attacked and overthrown.
Not only for it's trust be like a child, but for its joy in life, ready laughter, lack of criticism, desire to share with all men.   Be friendly and loving towards all, not critical, not fearful.
Love and Laugh - do not fear.   Do not weigh yourself down with the sins and sorrows of the world.   Look for the loving, the true, the kind, the brave around you. -God Calling    

When we make mistakes in marriage we sometimes desparately need our spouses to show mercy.   When they do there is a healing process.   When they don't the pain worsens.   Marriage requires a merciful attitude.   With it we become what God intended us to be - mature, deeply loving people.   Shown any mercy to your spouse lately?   Help us Lord to be merciful when we have been wronged.- Intimate Moments
