A thought on Blessing Others
In today’s fast-paced world, with social media profiles and the constant push to create a perfect image, it’s hard to remember why we do nice things for others. Sometimes, it feels like it’s more about getting a thumbs-up online than genuinely caring for someone. But think about it: God has been so generous to us, not just in the tangible things we’ve been given, but also in always being there for us, through thick and thin.
God’s gifts to us—His blessings or “presents” and His constant “presence”—are reminders of the kind of love we should aim to share with others. A simple gift or just spending time with someone can mean the world to them, much like how we value God’s blessings in our lives. It’s not about getting noticed or keeping score; it’s about sharing the love and grace we receive from Him daily.
So, instead of focusing on how our acts of kindness might look online or whether people will see or give us kudos, let’s try to give as God does: freely, without expecting anything in return, and being fully present. Let’s bring both presents and presence into our everyday interactions, showing God’s love in all we do.
