“Owe no man anything but to love him” Romans 13:8
So, when you encounter people anywhere, just pay them what you owe them, love. Be nice to them, don’t be grumpy or short with them. Be nice. You know, God may have a favor lined up for you, (especially if you’ve been praying for one); have it ready to send through some person. But if you’re grouchy with that person or someone else, you may cancel your favor. Be nice!

God Is Watching You!
Given May 2005
Let’s say, you’re at a ballgame and you’re getting ready to yell at the ref…
Or, you hit your finger with a hammer…
Or, your car won’t start and you’re already late…
Or what about, you’re about to pass on that little tidbit about you-know-who…
And…if God was right there with you, you’d act differently wouldn’t you? Well, guess what? God said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you”. Joshua 1:5, He IS right there with you! Think about it.
A Return On Your Gift?
Given May 10, 2005
When giving, we may not be getting the return on our gift that God wants to give us because we’re not giving it with joy or cheerfully. The gift we give will benefit the one who receives it, (a person, your church, etc.), but if we’re giving it out of obligation or because we have to, God won’t be released to bless us in the way He desires. “..God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Cor. 9:7) and He is poised to hand out blessings in abundance to those He finds willing to give without expecting anything in return. Let’s pray for the right attitude about giving.
