I celebrate all of you precious people out there who are kind, loving, and endeavoring to live a life that is pleasing to God, a life that exemplifies our living, risen, and eternal King, Y’shua Hamashiach!
Whether you have smiled at someone, hugged someone, given a monetary gift, a tip or donation, a book, a prayer card, a greeting card, passed out a tract, treated someone to lunch, offered prayers, words of encouragement, and edification, or helped the homeless or the poor, shared your wisdom, knowledge, and insights; or helped those who couldn’t help themselves, you have made a difference.
To that remnant who has gone over and above to be a blessing to others even through their own pain and suffering, let me assure you that Daddy God will never forget your labor of love and sincere acts of kindness without any hidden agendas. The one who neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121) not only sees us, but the living, just, and merciful One has it all written down. There is indeed a book of Remembrance.
As you have helped others, so it shall be done to you. As you have blessed others in different ways, so shall Daddy God do the same for you! One of God’s names is Yahweh – Roi, The God who sees.
And she [Hagar] gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her. “You are the God who sees me,” she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi [the “well of the Living One who sees me”]. (Genesis 16:13-14).
He sees us and will bless us according to what we have sown. What we plant in the lives of others will be reciprocated back to us. That is why I strive to do right by His people, and I must testify that I have seen some wonderful rewards and blessings from doing so.
“ Do not be deceived; God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap.”(Galatians 6:7 AMP)
It never ceases to amaze me how our adversary, Satan, always tries to magnify, enlarge, and magnify our negative experiences. He will play and rewind it over and over in your brain, despite the overwhelmingly positive things that may have occurred.
For example, I visited a church where the pastor said, “If you don’t like what I say, you can get out and not come back.” What in the world? That’s why some people are turned off by the church. Okay. I’m going to leave that alone. That’s a topic for another day. Prior to this hateful outburst, praise and worship were off the charts. The presence of our awesome and majestic God was so thick, heavy, and sweet., I was sitting next to some of the most beautiful and precious little children whom I adore. They had been waving and smiling throughout the service. I was in a truly blessed and heavenly place until I heard him come with this foolishness. It took me three days to shake this off. All I could think about was, “How dare you talk to God’s precious people like that?” How do you know if there was someone in there contemplating suicide, feeling depressed, and on the brink of taking their own life? “Shame on you, Pastor!” On the way out, I told myself you hadn’t said anything but a word. I would not return! We are praying that God will help this Pastor do better and do what is pleasing in His eyesight. We bless him in the name of the Lord.
We can’t allow our adversary to take away the precious moments we experience and focus on and highlight our negative experiences. God has some people out there who are lovely. All are not bad. They are not mean. All are not sons and daughters of the devil. Can I get an amen and hallelujah, anybody? I had to choose not to let what this Pastor said to steal that holy time that I had in the presence of a Holy, Righteous, and Awesome God!
I salute you, precious, sweet, and nice people of our Lord! I want to encourage you to keep being kind, loving, and giving, even though, at times, it may not be done to you. What we sow is what will grow in our lives! Don’t allow the ugliness of some to make you stumble and draw back from being a copycat of your Savior!
Promises in Scripture
For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. (2 Chronicles 16:9)
He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber… The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. (Psalm 121:3, 5-8)
The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. (Proverbs 15:3)
Remember that your Father sees the hidden good you do and will reward you. (Matthew 6:3-4)
Ask God to help you do what is right in his eyes. (Deuteronomy 12:28)
Pray that God will enable you to see him for who he is. (Matthew 5:8)
1 Chronicles 5:10 says, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.”
Lastly, the Lord has sent me to tell you that your kind gestures have not gone unnoticed and unrewarded!
One day we will stand before Him. What will He say to you? Depart from me, you worker of iniquity, or well done, my good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord (Matthew 25:23).
