More from the Kingdom Experiment....
From Mia Fulson:
I recently
finished a bible study titled "The Kingdom Experiment". This study was based on the Beatitudes. I always expect to gain new insights and to
be inspired after a study. This study
made me ask myself: "why did I wait so long?"
I had
projects to doing over the 8 weeks. Some
were easy and some were "safe".
I wrote a letter to a hurting friend, I donated to a program in another
country for a good cause, I simply noticed people more who tend to be invisible
in my community, and baked cookies for nearby construction workers. This was to make the kingdom a better
place. It did far more than that.
It changed
me!! I am learning to be kinder, more
patient, more compassionate, less judgmental, and more interactive with
strangers. I am definitely more
intentional and determined to brighten someone's day.
Why did I
wait so long? Why have I missed these
opportunities before? Why wouldn't I want to be more kind? Why can't I love others more? There is no excuse, but I have been blessed
with this NEW chance to do it NOW!! It
requires me to slow down, sometimes be inconvenienced and get
uncomfortable. It has been worth
it.
So readers,
who or what needs your attention? Have
you waited too long?
Who needs
your encouragement? Who in the world needs a hug or an act of kindness? Who can you compliment and make feel special?
Go out and
make this Kingdom a better place. I
promise - you will bring a smile upon our heavenly father's face.
