For the Sake of Your Prayers

God Created the World

God Created the Family

1 Peter 4:7-11 The Message

7-11 Everything in the world is about to be wrapped up, so take nothing for granted. Stay wide-awake in prayer. Most of all, love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for practically anything. Be quick to give a meal to the hungry, a bed to the homeless—cheerfully. Be generous with the different things God gave you, passing them around so all get in on it: if words, let it be God’s words; if help, let it be God’s hearty help. That way, God’s bright presence will be evident in everything through Jesus, and he'll get all the credit as the One mighty in everything—encores to the end of time. Oh, yes!

For Reflection

Are you timid about your altruistic impulses?  Do you have second thoughts about bestowal? Don't fret. Giving is what God is all about. It is the way God's presence in the world is known. Give of yourself with out hesitation.

Pray

Pray so that you understand the need of each of us to be singled out for a loving act of kindness.
