Hello to all, I hope that everyone is doing well!  I am excited for today’s challenge, because I think that it is the core of who we are to be as followers of Jesus.  But let’s get real we are more than just followers we have been learning that we are God’s Children, and with that Jesus becomes our brother.  So more than just followers we are family.  Take a view of this Toby Mac music video for the Song Love Broke Thur.  It is a little dramatic but it hits the mark if you are current with the state of our country. 



The Challenge: Okay I want you to reflect on the way that God has chased you down and continues to run to you with kindness.  Think real hard to see if He has ever come at you with anger and judgment.  You should not have to think too hard to learn that God really only comes at us with love and grace.  He longs for us to respond to Him and to others with the same response.  So today your challenge is to be kind.  You got it just be kind to everyone and see how that affects your relationship with others around you.  Be kind and love people and show them that God loves them to just by being kind.  It is funny but there really is a lack of kindness in the world which is sad because there are so many who claim to follow Jesus.  Jesus was in the business of showing people who His Father is,  He did this over and over again by being kind, honest and loving.  So today just be kind.  Smile at people, say hello, give people real compliments, and stay connected to God. 


Verse For The Day:  Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.  Do I need to say anymore than this.  This verse tells us how to act and how to live so that we might show the world who God is.   I know that it is hard sometimes, but let this verse encourage you to be kind and forgiving if it is important to God for us to live this way then you have to know that He has your back when you live the way that He longs for you to live. 


Lyrics for Love Broke Thur TobyMac
I was feelin’ that, feelin’ that breeze 
Singin’ like a song thru the tall oak trees 
It was just another summer night 
Had to be the last thing on my mind 
Yeah, I was all but lost in the moment 
I was young and runnin’ wide open 
It was just another summer night 
Had to be the last thing on my mind 
When love broke thru 
You found me in the darkness 
Wanderin’ thru the desert 
I was a hopeless fool 
Now I’m hopelessly devoted 
My chains are broken 
And it all began with You 
When love broke thru 
And it all began with You 
When love broke thru 
I did all that I could to undo me 
But You loved me enough to pursue me 
Yeah, You drew me out of the shadows 
Made me believe that I mattered, to You (You) 
You were there, You heard my prayer in that broke down dusty room 
It was the first time I said, “I’m Yours” 
The first time I called You Lord 
When love broke thru 
You found me in the darkness 
Wanderin’ thru the desert 
I was a hopeless fool 
Now I’m hopelessly devoted 
My chains are broken 
And it all began with You 
When love broke thru 
And it all began with You 
When love broke thru 
Yeah, it was late in the summer when the northeast breeze 
Sang like a song thru the oak trees 
Pennsylvania 
She kind of caught my soul 
Which had me a little more open than closed 
Walls I built 
Opinions I learned 
Covered in the ashes of bridges I burned 
Blind to the arrow that headed to my heart 
But You hit the mark 
When love broke thru 
You found me in the darkness 
Wanderin’ thru the desert 
I was a hopeless fool 
Now I’m hopelessly devoted 
My chains are broken 
And it all began with You 
When love broke thru 
When love broke thru 
You found me in the darkness 
Wanderin’ thru the desert 
I was a hopeless fool 
Now I’m hopelessly devoted 
My chains are broken 
And it all began with You 
When love broke thru 
And it all began with You 
When love broke thru 
I did all that I could to undo me 
But You loved me enough to pursue me


Thank you for tuning into the challenge today! I hope you take this challenge to heart and seek to live it out as a brother or sister of Jesus! Live with Kindness to one another!
Be Blessed!

    This is a place where you can find growth and challenges.   Growth is found when we are challenged and we are uncomfortable.  Daily Devo's to push you and make you think about who God is and who you are in God....
