Deaf Devo - Deaf Missions Devotional in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States "Little Things" for Saturday, 2 July 2016
"Little Things"
Bible Reading: Colossians 3:12-17Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with feelings of compassion and with kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with one another; if anyone has a complaint against someone else, forgive him. Indeed, just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must forgive.

14 Above all these, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together perfectly; 15 and let the shalom which comes from the Messiah be your heart’s decision-maker, for this is why you were called to be part of a single Body.

And be thankful — 16 let the Word of the Messiah, in all its richness, live in you, as you teach and counsel each other in all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude to God in your hearts. 17 That is, everything you do or say, do in the name of the Lord Yeshua, giving thanks through him to God the Father.

One day a co-worker and I took a small basket of goodies to a family who lives next door to the Deaf Missions building. We wanted to thank them for all they do for us. A faithful devotion book reader calls me every few weeks just to tell me that he appreciated a devotion that I wrote. The women in my Sunday School class prepare meals for people who are sick or who have just come home from the hospital.
What do all these things have in common? They are all little things that do not require much time or work. But they are all ways that we can show our love for other Christians.
In our Bible Reading today, Paul reminds us of ways we can show love to other Christians - show mercy, be kind, be humble, be gentle and patient, don't be angry, forgive others and love each other. All of these things are easy to do, but sometimes we get busy and forget to show our love for each other.
Do something special today to show your love for a brother or sister in Christ.[JK]

"Everything you say and everything you do should be done for Jesus our Lord."[Colossians 3:17a]
PRAYER: Lord, thank You for sending Jesus to die for me. In His name. Amen.
