The little deeds of love

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:10)

 When it comes to loving those you have to work with and interact with on a day-to-day basis, it’s a lot more difficult. People may have habits you don’t like, they have quirks that bother you, they have personality traits that frustrate you. But here the Lord is placing them with you and saying you’re responsible to love them and help them when you can.
 There are people all around us who are battling discouragement and need understanding, those who feel lonely, and those who are sick and in need of encouragement.
 There’s something you can do to show some love, consideration, and concern to each person that you come in contact with during the day. Let’s not pass up an opportunity to be an instrument of His love—His hands and feet and voice—to help others and show them His love.
 The Lord has been specific in His Word, and it is up to us to do our part to exercise the gift of love that He has given us. That may not translate into apparent great or glorious works, but rather the little things of everyday life—the little deeds of love, the daily words of appreciation and kind acts that show that we care. —Maria Fontaine [1]

 People never care how much you know until they know how much you care. —John C. Maxwell
