But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. ‎
1 John 3:17-18

 If you keep your eyes open when out in the world, on occasion, you will notice someone doing an act of kindness for someone....opening the door, helping an elderly person load groceries into their car, pick up someone's books they just dropped. There are so many opportunities to express acts of kindness. 

When we see these actions, they usually spill over into us who witnessed them...thus prompting us to jump at the opportunity to perform unselfish acts of kindness. There is nothing more special in life than helping someone in need. ‎

But what prompts us to take an extra step or minute to help others? If you are a Christian it's most likely the presence of God living inside of you through the Holy Spirit's encouragement to express love through "action". 

Do you help others....do you take some time out of your busy day to give support for those in need? You don't have to look hard to find opportunities to help. If you find it hard to take that extra step, ask God to give you the patience, the willingness and heart to express Christ love through selfless acts of service. By doing so others will see the presence of Christ in your life and want to do the same for others. 

Pay it forward today and make time for others...God will give you back that time in full and bless you for your obedience. God bless friends. ‎
