October 27th, 2010

Mary, Martha or Lazarus? So different - but You loved each one (John 11:5). That is comforting to know! You made us all different, but You love us all. Thank You Lord that You love me - in spite of myself. Thank You that You made us all different - not oinly in looks, but personality as well. Thank You that You don't love one more than the other. It doesn't matter if we are strong or weak, someone who struggles with doubts, someone who handles what comes their way with ease and poise, someone who prays for hours a day or someone who prays five minutes a day - it doesn't matter - You love us all! Thank You! Help me to remember today that You love me - unconditionally - help me not to take that for granted, Lord. Help me to show Your love to others today.

Do you stuggle (like I do at times) with wondering if you are truly loved? You don't have to wonder with God. He loves each of us the same. Thank Him today for His unfailing, unconditional love.

Another thought:

How can we be a rainbow that chase the storms of life away from someone today?

We often send notes, cards, flowers, candy, etc. to people on their birthday, anniversary, when they are sick, when a loved one has passed on; but what about today? Maybe you just want to surprise someone with a "Thinking of You" card. It's not their birthday or anything, but it is ok to send or give something to someone on a very ordinary day. Think of it as an out-of-season gift.

Maybe someone in your life is going through a "storm". Maybe they do need a rainbow. Be sensitive and ask God what kind of rainbow they need. Then, follow through on it.

Whether or not you think a person needs a rainbow, sends one anyway. It could be the "surprise" that person needs to keep the rainbow of colors in their life.
