Hebrews 13:15-16
15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Want to know a cheap thing you can always give away? A smile! Unfortunately with the mask restrictions we have to step up our game and actually open our lips. Do you know when you are being kind and courteous you are showing God’s love? You are pleasing God by doing good and sharing of yourself.
People try and tell you it doesn’t take much time or effort to over a hello, please, or thank you. Let’s be real for a moment. It can sometimes take a LOT of effort and when you are rushed and time is precious it can feel like it takes up your time. I am sure all of us have not felt so pleasant waiting in a drive-thru that took 20 minutes to get your meal. Maybe we should talk about that guy doing 40 in a 50 in front of you when you are running late.
Believe it or not, being nice is a sacrifice. You are sacrificing yourself, your pride, your me first thoughts. So let’s take the time to sacrifice for each other today. It will make this world a much friendlier place. It will definitely bring a smile to God’s face.
Lord, help me share a smile today. ~amen
