Be Gracious

Help someone feel appreciated, especially someone you don’t know. Get out of your comfort zone and do something good for someone else.

Read: Matthew 5:46-47
46 If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. 47 If you are kind only to your friends,[a] how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that.

Drifters

Loved ones and friends can drift away when problems and temptations come. Don’t give up on them. Keep praying for them too.

Read: Luke 8:13
13 The seeds on the rocky soil represent those who hear the message and receive it with joy.
But since they don’t have deep roots, they believe for a while,
then they fall away when they face temptation.
