Humanity

"Humanity" By Diane Webb

Psalms 77: 11—"I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old."

Never forget what God has done for you—the little miracles, the answered prayers, and the guidance through the Holy Spirit. When you are discouraged and doubtful about the future, remember the times you saw direct evidence of his hand in your life. Remember the times he confirmed he was with you. Remember you closest moments with God. Think of the spectacular sunsets, the ocean, and a mountain vista. Think of the miracle of birth as you held your newborn child. Think of the close calls you were divinely delivered from. There is evidence of God throughout your life. He is all around you constantly orchestrating events so you can remain on the path he chose for you. Sometimes he is working things out to get you back on path after a disobedient detour. Most of all remember how much he loves you as an individual and people in general. He loves you and he loves all people. All of the signs and wonders are to demonstrate his authenticity, his sincerely, and his undying love for humanity. If he loves humanity so much as to send his son to die for your sins, then you too can love humanity as well.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your love and tireless efforts on my behalf. Help me see humanity as you do. Help me see each individual I encounter the same way you do. Help me minister to them in a way that pleases you. I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
