How To Be Rich...In Good Works
1 Timothy 6:17-19 “Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life."
What an amazing passage!! Even if we are not rich by our standards or the worlds...we CAN be 'rich in good works'! Being generous isn't always about money. It can be time, conversation, love, kindness... Remember, when we 'do to the least of these' we are doing it to/for Jesus. Today, you have the opportunity to 'experience true life' - you do!! How? By being ready, on the alert, to help, share, do good for someone else. Some people may look alright on the outside, but on the inside, they are in the middle of clouds or a storm even! You have the opportunity to be a little bit of sunshine in their day. A simple gesture can bring a rainbow into someones day of clouds! Carry their bags, open a door, pray with someone, share a meal, pay for the person behind you, let cars in front of you.... oh there are TONS of ways!! I pray you experience true joy today as you get out of your 'comfort box' and do something for a stranger.
