Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another (Romans 12:10).

Did you know that what you give to othersthe treatment you mete out to themis actually unto God? Thats what the Bible says: If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORDand he will repay you! (Proverbs 19:17 NLT). So, when you do good things for others, never complain about it; instead, be glad.

Once you complain about the good youre doing, you destroy the effectiveness of it. Remember what the Bible says: do all things without complaining, and by so doing, you show yourself to be a true child of God without fault, manifesting His light in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation (Philippians 2:14-15).

When youre kind and affectionate to others, you don't have to expect anything from them in return, for the Bible says, of the Lord you shall receive your reward: 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 3:23-24).

Everyone who treats people well turns out to be a success in just a matter of time. Why? Because God treats people well and Hes always on the lookout for those who manifest His character. Remember, He so loved us that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die in our place for our salvation (John 3:16). He looks out for those who identify with Him in saving, blessing and loving others so He can manifest His grace and power in and through them.

Therefore, let His love flow out of you effortlessly. Be genuinely interested in people, and be willing to help them. Whenever the opportunity presents itself, offer your assistance. Ask, May I help you? and when youre through, still ask, Is there anything else I could do for you? What if they dont treat you nicely in return? It doesnt matter!

The Bible says, Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing (1 Peter 3:9 NIV). Spread love. Spread life. Spread joy! Thats what Christmas is about. Let others testify that their lives changed for the better because they met you.

Prayer

Dear Father, thank you for your love thats shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit, and which I dispense effortlessly. I spread joy, peace, and love everywhere because youve made me a vessel of blessing to my world. Those I meet testify of your goodness, love, grace and blessings they enjoy because of me, in Jesus Name. Amen.
