Never despise, look over or think less of, the small things. For every great journey begins with the first small step. Every great book begins with the first small letter. And every reconciliation of marriages start with that first small gesture. God does big and great things but they dont just happen, they start in that small step toward each other, that small gesture of kindness. Maybe even in that one small good thought that open the door of total surrender. Dont despise the small things but instead be grateful and thankful for all things from the Lord. Does that mean every good gesture or thought will lead to reconciliation, no. But we never know which one will. So if God has laid it upon on your heart to do it, then do it. But if God has laid it upon someone else to do it towards you, receive it and be thankful. Lord, thank You for the small things. Many times I over look that little things because im focused on the problem or the big picture. Help me to see and be greatful for the small things, help me to thank You for all things in my life, both great and small. Because all those small things add up. Thank You Lord. Lord, I pray for the one reading this right now. As they read this post, bring back to their memory the small things that has happen that they failed to see or just over looked them all together. Show them that You are working in these small gestures, these little winks, these crumbs of kindness to falls their way. Even the dogs eat the crumbs from the masters table. Let us eat the crumbs from Your table today Lord. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

From “Living the Word” with Pastor Su Teaching Our words have power. The things we say can build faith or spread fear, bring encouragement or cause discouragement. God has given us the ability to speak words that honor Him and bring life to those around us. Many times, we speak according to what we see. But as believers, we are called to speak according to God's promises. Even when circumstances are difficult, we can declare God's faithfulness, His peace, and His provision. Instead of saying, "There is no hope," choose to say, "God is with me." Instead of saying, "I will never make it," declare, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Let your words reflect your faith in God, because your speech reveals what fills your heart. Today's Application Pay attention to the words you speak today. Whenever you are tempted to speak negatively, stop and replace those words with a promise from God's Word. Choose to speak life, hope, faith, and encouragement over yourself and others. Declaration Today I choose to speak words of life. My mouth will declare God's goodness, my heart will trust His promises, and my words will bring hope, encouragement, and glory to God. Closing Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of speech. Help me to use my words to glorify You and encourage others. Guard my tongue from negativity, fear, and unbelief. Fill my heart with Your truth so that my mouth speaks words of faith, hope, and love. In Jesus' name, Amen.

”Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins. Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble; for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you.“ ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ Vs. 5 Step 1- faith 4102- pistis is belief, trust, confidence, and reliance in God Then add Step 2-virtue 703- arete which is moral goodness and excellence Then add Step 3- knowledge- 1108- gnosis meaning investigation of spiritual truths to gain deeper insight from firsthand/personal experience Then add Step 4: temperance or self control- 1466- egkrateia the virtue of one who masters his desires, passions and especially his sensual appetites.
