How can you help?
There are so many different ways that you can serve. Your service may be giving someone something to drink, inviting a stranger in or over, clothing another, caring for the sick or visiting someone (see Matthew 25:35-36). For, "whatever you [do]...you [also do] for [him]" (25:40). #ActsOfLove

What kind of life do you want to live?
We live; and we die; and, hopefully, are reborn. Helping you and I to navigate this imminent path is Jesus, as he rode on a donkey, this very day, through the streets of Jerusalem (see John 12:12-19). As He passed through, he shared that "anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life" (John 12:25). So, may you live life in such a way that when it is your time, celebrate, as you look forward to an even better life that awaits you. #EmbraceYourFuture & #PlantYourSeed

Why remain a good person?
Despite living in a world that is filled with hate and jealousy, you can still "live such [a] good [life] among the pagans [even] though they accuse you of doing wrong, they [still] see your good deeds and glorify God" (1 Peter 2:12). So, may you continue to "let your light shine before others" (Matthew 5:16), regardless; because when you do, the lights only get brighter. #KeepLightingItUp

How do you show your love?
Words are nice, but the actions behind them speak louder. Encouraging actions over words is John, as he says to "lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters" (1 John 3:16) and "not [just] love with words or speech but with actions in truth" (3:18), just as Jesus did (see 3:16). So, if you want to offer love, especially with words, might you also follow through with them "in deed and in truth" (3:18). #ActingInLove

How can you help?
Everyone could use a helping hand, now and then, especially "those in trouble" (Isaiah 58:10 nlt); and when you do so, "your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon” (58:10 nlt). In return, “the Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring” (58:10-11 nlt). So, might you consider finding ways to help. Who knows, you might just “rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities” (58:12 nlt). #HelpingUsToHelpEachother

Who can you always trust?
Tough to establish and even more so to maintain is trust, as it is the foundation and pillar for all relationships. Offering a trust filled with blessings and happiness, always and often, is the Lord, revealed through Psalm (40:4). So, if you choose to "make the LORD [your] trust" (40:4 NRSV), know that you will never have to worry, because He is forever faithful and loyal no matter what. #ALifetimeOfJoyAndHappiness

How considerate are you?
Everyone deserves to be treated "considerately" (Colossians 4:1). Unfortunately, during Paul's time, instead of being treated "justly" (4:1 ESV) and "right and fair" (4:1), servants were treated as property by their masters. So, whomever it is, might you always "be fair with them[; and] "don't forget for a minute that you, too, serve a Master-God in heaven" (Colossians 4:1). #BeDecent #Polite #Kind & #Good

What or who do you believe in?
Believing in anything can be difficult, especially if you have been hurt or let down. Skeptical of what he was asked to do, free the Israelites from Egypt, was Moses, as he asked the Lord "What am I that I should go to Pharaoh" (Exodus 3:11). The Lord's response was "I AM WHO I AM" (3:14). So, if skeptical like Moses, but you really want to put your faith and belief in someone that will never disappoint, the "I AM" is your answer, as He is who he says that he is and will always be. #BELIEVE #IAM

What kind of teammate are you?
When competition and comparison arise among a team, trouble soon follows, and hinders or diminishes any chance of reaching its full potential. Trying to create a team of leaders who would "share the burden of the people" (Numbers 11:17) was Moses. Of the seventy, two were found prophesying; and when told, Moses said, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!” (11:29). So, whenever working with others, might you choose to be the teammate that is willing to do their part for the greater good of the team. #LikeMindedLeadership

How will you respond when you get the call?
Each one of us has a calling; and it is up to us to answer it. Receiving and responding to the Macedonian call (see Acts 16) was Paul. Begged, in a vision, to "come over to Macedonia to help [them]" (16:9), Paul and his followers "got ready at one to leave for Macedonia" (16:10). So, when it is your time to answer the call, might you too, like Paul, step up, and do what you are called to do. #TakeIt & #RespondWell
