I love to bless others especially when they least expect it. I have known a young lady for about six months now and she has been very reserved and really has a distrust for people especially Christians. Yesterday I thought I would try something different so I just went up to her and said, "Hey I want to bless you with this small gift!"
I gave her what I felt the Lord had laid on my heart to do and she was caught off guard. She couldn't believe that I would do something like that for her. She smiled and said, "I don't know what to say." I told her that thank you would be enough. She then came over and sat down and we had a really great chat.
I decided to bless her again today, this time I gave her some of the Christmas baking I had. I told her how much I appreciated her and wanted her to have this small Christmas gift from me. She was really touched that I would help her with something so simple. You see she is a young lady that has often been hurt by Christians and now she is seeing a different way she can be treated. I love it when people see God differently as a result of a couple of small acts of kindness.
I would highly recommend the book "You Were Born For This". It talks about following God's nudges and being a miracle to someone in need. It is a wonderful way to live our lives, to be looking for those God moments when we can show His love to people when they least expect it.
It is soooooooooo much fun!
