Today is going to be a short, but very important message that I’ve been thinking about all week.
Lately, I’ve been asking myself about how to better show my love to the people around me. Our family is really at a very important point here as we take over the youth ministry full time. It puts us in a position that is dedicated to the betterment of others. So how do you communicate care, love, and authenticity to those that you have just met? How do you positively effect others that you know very well (such as your spouse)? I think it has to do with consistency.
If you can push yourself to be there for people unconditionally, it will speak volumes to who you are and your intentions. Being dependable in someone’s life will show them that you have integrity and are genuine. Just be present and intentional. Others will start to realize that when you say something, you mean it. This is a gift all on its own. It doesn’t matter what you say or really do as long as you are there. Your presence is all they need.
Be like the North Star. For centuries sailors, explorers, and vagabonds have used this reliable star to help them find their way when lost. It can be depended on because it is steadily there. May your life be a star that doesn’t go out. May you shine love on others always. May your motto be:
This
Star
Won’t
Go
Out!
I pray that this weekend and coming week will be a great one for you. Know that we love you and want to be there consistently for you.
Questions
Who is the most consistent person in your life?
What does your spouse do for you consistently?
Thanks guys!
