Holy Scripture of the day about the reward for random acts of kindness

John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he wasn’t in our group.”  “Don’t stop him!” Jesus said. “No one who performs a miracle in my name will soon be able to speak evil of me. Anyone who is not against us is for us. If anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah, I tell you the truth, that person will surely be rewarded. Mark 9:38-41 NLT

Truth: One act of kindness teaches more about the love of Jesus than the words I speak. --Hector Perez

Prayer to demonstrate acts of kindness that get rewarded by Jesus

Lord Jesus, please deliver me from being critical of others who don't fit in with my way of thinking. Thank You for helping me understand that the little things I do for others are significant in Your eyes. Teach me how to demonstrate Your inclusive love to my family and people in the marketplace through random acts of kindness. Holy Spirit, burden my heart to reach out and help someone today who needs my care and support. In the name of Jesus, my Teacher and Master.
