Everyone You Meet

May everyone with whom you interact tomorrow be lavished with kindness--no matter how they interact with you. May they sense that in your presence they are safe, accepted as they are, treasured. May they rest in your soft answers. May your words edify--be an impetus to spiritual maturity; exhort--be an encouragement for obedience; console--build a fortress of comfort around their hearts, be a reminder, if necessary, of the limitless forgiveness and forgetfulness readily available from the heart of God. May any sorrows in your heart radiate the joy of your confidence in Him, create a deep desire in your heart to cast your burdens on Him so that you may in His strength help bear another's burdens. May you laugh with those whose hearts are filled with laughter. May you weep with those whose hearts are filled with pain. May the beauty and loveliness of Jesus be seen in you.
