The lady seated to my left is quietly sleeping, now that the turbulence has ended and the plane is smoothly making its way across Texas. Her neatly groomed white hair frames a lightly tanned face, with lips that support a broad smile, and wrinkles that testify to memories of a life fully lived. She boasts those fine lines at the corners of her mouth that come from smiling more often than frowning. I had the pleasure of speaking to her while she was being helped onto a wheelchair while boarding. She didnt understand English and it didn t matter, because she said thanks with a sincere smile and nod when I offered help. I did not need a linguist to interpret her meaning.I have spent the last week travelling across three countries, meeting dozens of people representing a vast spectrum of economic and social differences. People who wore extreme wealth…

It still upsets me, although I shouldnt be surprised at such things anymore. I caught a news piece yesterday about cencorship on major TV networks. It seems with all the unsavory offerings available, most from unregulated cable stations, the majors feel unfairly treated. They claim it is not right to impose the current programming standards which edit their content for obscene language, nudity, etc.Frankly, I believe that major network programming has already become too lax. The language, lifestyle portrayal, and adult content is oozing into far too many programs, like slim draining into a cesspool! Ive stopped watching several shows because of content; something Ive been doing for a few years. And Im sure Im not the only person doing this.Even so, it appears that we who do this are in the minority among TV viewers. There is more and more garbage being dug up and presented to bigger and…

#494 – Seeing People Through Eyes of Love

ourchristiancountry — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 07:44:44 +0000

God wants us to see people through eyes of love. Too often, we judge others without knowing their story – the struggles they have been through, how they were raised and the current challenges they may face. We are quick to say, “He sure is unfriendly. She shouldn’t wear that. I don’t know why they act that way.” There is a reason why people are the way they are. That’s why it’s important to take the time to get to know others.

Romans 15:1 says, “You who are strong, you who are mature are to bear with those that are weak.” This means instead of judging others, our attitude should be “God, how can I help this person come up higher? How can I make them feel more loved, accepted and secure?” The world is full of people that need someone that understands. Can you be that someone today? Can you make the choice to love others back to wholeness?

The closest thing to the heart of God is helping hurting people. As you walk in God’s love and mercy instead of judgment and condemnation, you can be the catalyst for change in the lives around you. And when you extend mercy and understanding to others, God will make sure there is mercy extended to your own life.

Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Every one of us has people in our life that helped shape us into who we are today. Who has been there to comfort you in a time of loss? Who encourages you when you’re down? Who can you count on when nobody else is around? Have you told those people how much you appreciate them? Don’t wait until it’s too late to tell them, express appreciation while they are still around. Take time to thank those who have made you better.
