Today’s Scripture: “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.” Mark 9:37 ESV
Who will you receive God through today? As we welcome and receive others we receive God.
Just as the children here In Mark 9, those we receive may not even be aware of what they are bringing to us. With a heart to welcome others we experience God through them. Receiving others with love we find love; the love of God that will astonish us.
We are called to serve others and in serving we find God. Welcome the conversations and needs of others and see what you receive. Just as the Word of God speaks to us the words carried by others speak to us.
God knows what we need to hear and we may just hear it by listening to others. We experience God by being at peace with everyone.
Have you experienced God through others?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the teachings of Jesus. Soften my heart to hear Him and to hear those You bring to me. LORD, give me a welcoming heart and I thank You for the words You cause to resound in me. You LORD know what I need to receive and give. Amen
