Have you
had your JOY JUICE today? May I suggest
that you intentionally go out of your way today to share some with a stranger?
Strangers
come into our lives daily! When we go to
the store, many of the fellow shoppers & clerks are strangers to us. We sit in church some Sundays with people we
don’t know on a personal level. As we
rush about our busy days, we encounter many strangers in need of a smile and an
encouraging word.
Do we go out of our way to share the JOY of the Lord with
them? Or do we simply look the other way with our own agenda in mind?
Consider
how many times we may have disappointed our Lord by not taking advantage of the
“divine appointment” he set up for us!

Remember that young mother with the tired, cranky,
little ones trying to check out at the grocery store? She may simply have
needed a word of encouragement or a little help while she paid for her
groceries.

What about the older gentleman who was having
trouble walking from his car into the doctor’s office? Should we have offered an extra hand to help
him feel steady on his feet…and maybe open that heavy door for him as he
entered? We never know when a small act
of kindness might be the healing touch that stranger needs to make it through his
day.
Ephesians
4:32 was one of the Bible verses many of us learned as children…..”Be ye
kind, one to another. “ That
applies to strangers, too! So, go out of
your way to share God’s kindness today.
Have the gift of JOY ready for all the divine appointments God has lined
up for you!
Drink your JOY JUICE
faithfully and carry a double serving for the strangers God will bring your way!
