Has the thought ever occurred to you that with everyone you meet you are actually been given a chance to care for that person? a chance to show them patience and kindness? a chance to reflect into their lives the truth that they matter to God?
I dare say these are our life’s greatest opportunities, and there they are at our very fingertips every time someone comes to our attention. Everything, and I mean everything else we do we may consider of value is secondary.
A challenge to that last assertion may be the fact that loving God is the ultimate priority. True enough, but the apostle John wrote, “if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?” (1 John 4:20 NLT)
So have a look around you. Your day is likely full of these premium opportunities to affirm the preciousness to God of everyone you meet. Live relishing these chances.
