“Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day’s out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ’s law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.” -Galatians 6:2-3 [Message]

A Time to Think… “There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.” -John Holmes, Writer and Clergyman

A Time to Act… Think about someone who has offered you kindness, encouragement, or help recently. Instead of insisting on handling everything alone, receive their care as one of the ways God is supporting you today. 

A Time to Pray… Precious Lord and Savior, thank you for the people you place in my life to encourage and strengthen me. Help me to accept support with humility and gratitude. May I always remember that your love often comes through the kindness of others. AMEN.
