Goodness

How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me. Psalm 116:12 (NIV)

This verse truly makes me think. God has done amazing things for me. How could I possibly repay the Lord back? We can never out do God, but we can still do some good. Titus 3:8 tells us...I want to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good.
This act of goodness, is a very small way that I can repay the Lord for all his goodness. I must devote myself to doing good for others...others who may not deserve goodness. Now goodness, by no means equals salvation!! I still however must do some good  in the name of the Lord. I may not see results immediately however my efforts are not in vain. This is my memory verse for this week..
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV)
So Ladies, I ask you to begin your day with the word, and ask God to show you what good work will He have you do?  What a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate the love of God.
