17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. James 3:17-18
Do you consider yourself to be a considerate person? Someone that shows kindness and awareness of other people's feelings. I think this is something that our society is trending away from, and you can see it daily. There are people who talk about kindness, passing it forward, being loving to the unloved, and speaking with positive affirmation. Those are the same people who talk about others behind their back, say a negative word about the people who don't do as much as they do, say I will pass it forward the next time, and they didn't say anything good to me, so why should I waste my breath with them. The important thing we need to remember if we have Christ living in us, is that we can reflect all the things in the first list if we allow Christ to work through us. I am sure we are all busy and don't take the time to think about reflecting Christ, but we should. According to scripture we can gain wisdom if we sow the seeds of peace. So as you enter this week, be kind, pay it forward, love the unloved, and speak a positive word. All these things will be steps towards the reflection of Christ and can make the world a better place.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
