Dear Ones,
Hope you are taking time to enjoy this warmer weather. I plan to bake Gluten-free cookies and go to exercise class. Our Craft class has been cancelled as a couple residents have covid here. Al won’t be preaching tomorrow at Assisted Living either as they have 15 with Covid. Tonight, we help at soup supper and go to the Lenten service.
Devotions from Judy’s heart
When we come to know the Lord, we are to be His witnesses and share Him with others. We love to talk about the One we love the most, but in our culture today it is not always welcomed, and others may even be hostile. However, there are many ways we can share the Lord other than preaching or giving out tracts or Bibles, we can do deeds of kindness.

There are endless ways to witness to others who may not be open to an invitation to go to church but might respond to having a cup of coffee together.  Maybe our neighbor is a care giver and would appreciate a meal brought to the door, or a lonely person would welcome an invite to be included in a group activity, or a senior neighbor would appreciate his lawn being mowed. It may not be our words that speak to them but our lives without words, that attract them to the Lord.

Witnesses simply tell others what they have seen or experienced, and a verse I learned as a young child says it well in Matt 5:16, “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Our light can shine forth in many ways and is more apt to be seen if we are compassionate and humble, not prideful like we have all the answers.  It will glow as we easily forgive and are peace-loving. Also, if we are good listeners and express encouragement, they may ask where our peace comes from and be open to having prayer over their concerns.

Others are observing our lives, so let us ask ourselves if they will be drawn to the Lord by how we live.

Challenge for today: Let how you live your life today be a sermon for others to be attracted to the One who is Love!
Blessings on your day and prayers and love, Judy
