爱心行善
好施舍的，必得丰裕； 滋润人的，必得滋润。
箴言 11:25
耶稣改变人的生命。这也是他最擅长的工作。那些被耶稣改变的人，又改变了很多其他人。耶稣无私的精神和丰盛的恩典在人与人之间一个一个传递下去。如果你也被耶稣所改变，那么你可以以下这些爱心方式来生活。比如：
在餐馆留下25%的小费;
向教会或非营利机构奉献比平常更多一些的捐款;
专心聆听一个朋友的倾诉，少分心少打岔；
全力帮助一个不堪重负的人，完成他的项目；
以你所擅长的专业 耐心辅导一个年轻人;
多买一份饭食，送给饥饿的人；
探访一个正在经受艰难的人;
花时间去儿童医院鼓励病童;
举办活动时，最早去布置并在结束时收拾完再离开；
跟别人谈话时，看着他的眼睛；
多多微笑，形成自然的习惯；
自愿参加宣教之旅，无论是当地的还是海外的；
在当地教会辅导青少年。
今日祷告：
耶稣，你在改变我的生命。求你帮助我以这样的方式来生活，通过我来改变他人。阿们。

Generous Ways
The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
PROVERBS 11:25
Jesus changes lives. It’s actually what he’s good at doing. And those who are changed by Jesus change lives too. From one person to the next, there is a passing on of Jesus’ generosity, life overflowing with life because Jesus has given himself in abundance. Here are just some of the generous ways someone who has been changed by Jesus can live today:
Leave a 25 percent tip at a restaurant.
Give a larger than normal offering to a church or nonprofit organization.
Listen to a friend longer and less distractedly.
Give assistance to someone who is overwhelmed with a project.
Tutor a younger person in a subject you can handle pretty well.
Buy a second meal and give it to someone who is hungry.
Visit someone who is going through a rough time.
Spend time encouraging patients in a children’s hospital.
Be the first one to set up and to clean up.
Look someone in the eyes during a conversation.
Smile. A lot. Naturally. Let the muscles form and let it happen.
Volunteer your time on a mission trip, either locally or internationally.
Mentor teenagers in a local youth group.
Pray for the Day:
Jesus, you are changing me. Help me to live that way today, letting you work through me to change others. Amen.
