If
You Give Even A Cup Of Cold Water
To
One Of The Least Of My Followers,
You
Will Surely Be Rewarded.
Scripture
Matthew
10
42 And
if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my
followers, you will surely be rewarded.”
Observation
Kathy
and I decided at lunch time this past Monday to go through the
drive-thru at our local McDonald's to get 3 small hamburgers (two for
me and one for Kathy).
When
I got up to the window to pay, the girl told me that someone had
already paid for our meal. It has never happened to us before in a
drive-thru.
We
have heard about people doing that kind of thing, but “Wow”, now
we know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of this good
deed! It was a super neat experience!
Our
first thought was one of gratitude, then our next thought was 'why
didn't we order a bigger lunch'!
The
person who generously provided us our lunch will be richly rewarded
by our Heavenly Father. I have God's Word on that!
This
sure is a great time of the year for you and me to do some random
acts of kindness. Lets make some people smile with our generosity!
Remember:
“And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my
followers, you will surely be rewarded.”
Application
I
will look for ways to show random acts of kindness.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, give me a heart like Yours … one that is generous! Give me
ideas of how I can do some random acts of kindness during this
holiday season. Thank You for the giving us the experience of having
an unknown person buy our lunch this week. We know that You will
bless them. And I also know that You will always bless us when we are
generous with what You have provided us.
