And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the
Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of
the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Colossians, Chapter 3, verses 23-24.
This makes me think about Random Acts of Simple
Kindness and Love. This is when people
secretly do nice things for others (this could be for people you know or
complete strangers.) These anonymous
acts aren’t done for any reward or praise, but are just for the pleasure it
brings to do nice things for others.
I think God is saying that because we love Him, we, as Random Acts Christians, are to have that same attitude in all we do.
We should take pleasure in doing nice things for others, not for any
reward or praise, but because we enjoy doing nice things for God. Actually, it’s exhilarating when you do nice
things for others without letting anyone know you did them! It’s really very special to know that you
have been allowed to be an instrument for God by being involved in one of His
little miracles for someone else. If you
have never done things like this before, you should try it! There is nothing quite like the pure joy of
doing something nice for another person without getting caught up in bragging
to others about what you did. You do it
just because it’s something God would like you to do. Try it!
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
