Lamentations 3: 22-23 ” Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

God’s loving kindness towards us continues to work on our behalf until His plan for our life is complete. I heard it once compared to waking up each morning with a new package of Oreos on your nightstand. Delicious cookies for you to enjoy all day, but also having confidence that there would be a new package waiting for you the next morning. Our Lord’s compassion and mercy is like that…offered to us anew and afresh everyday. Never to run out, never to run dry, always steadfast, always faithful… Great is Your unwavering, unfailing love for us Lord.

Titus 2:11 ” For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.”

Babies were being born all the time, so what was so very special about this baby Mary was about to give birth to? At the very moment Jesus was delivered, salvation suddenly appeared and shone its light on mankind…and God’s loving kindness was made flesh in the body of this tiny babe.

I Peter 4:10 ” Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.”

If you’re unsure what your gifts are, ask yourself these questions – What am I talented at, and what things am I passionate about? God gives us gifts that run in conjunction with our personalities and bents. He works with talents and passions we already have within. He won’t give us gifts that are contrary to who we are. Whatever your giftings, you are to care for the needs of others by showing the same loving kindness that Jesus has shown you. Each one of us have different gifts…but we all are to use them to benefit others.
