What About We?

Proverbs 3:3

"Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind 

them about thy neck; write them 

upon the table of thine heart:"

       Have you ever been unhappy and needed guidance to get your life back on track. Do you start your day by saying, " I wake every day sad and anxious. I have difficulty concentrating. I find it hard to pray. I feel that life has lost it's joy and meaning. I need help."  My friend what I have to say for that, is to take a red pen and circle the first word in every sentence "I."   

       In Proverbs we read this powerful message: "Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart."  King Solomon recognized the importance of kindness, too. By telling us to bind it to our necks and inscribe it on our hearts, he was teaching us that we ought to make kindness as well as truth a major part of who we are both inside and out. 
       Most people go through life asking themselves, "What is in it for me?" However, this ultimately leads to a shallow existence and a feeling of emptiness. Life lived "all about me" can be a very lonely experience. Instead of asking "What about me?", we need to start asking, "What about we?" In other words, how can I help us out? How can I brighten someone else’s day? How can I make the world better for everyone? 

       Everyone can perform acts of kindness today. Speak some encouraging words to someone who is down. Cook a hot meal for someone alone or hungry. Help someone run an errand, or offer your seat on the crowded bus to another person. Even something as simple as asking, "What can I do for YOU today" can enrich your life as well as many others. Make kindness a priority today

        Amen!
