Thought of the Day !!

Don't lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your good example.
1 Peter 5:3 (NLT)


Could it be that this would not apply to everyone? Could there be some of you out there that might say that I'm at the lowest level in my job and I have no kids so I must not have anyone assigned to my care?

If you think that there is no person or persons assigned to your care, then you are mistaken. Some of us will have kids and others will have people working under them. But even if you take these people out of the equation, you still have people assigned to your care. God will bring people into your life for you to influence, not by force, but by example.

How many people have you influenced lately by the words you have spoken and the way they've seen you live your life? Are they learning good lessons or poor ones?

Let us all be encouraged to teach those whom we meet this week lessons of forgiveness, of humility, of goodness, and especially of love.

In the love of Christ,
greg
