Pay It Forward

 

The concept of “pay it forward” has become pretty familiar within the last couple of decades. A common, simple way this plays out is often seen in stores or restaurants.

I have been in a checkout line when someone paid for the coffee and doughnut of the person behind them. 

It certainly makes a bright moment in someone’s day, and may be just the boost that person needed.  But it is a small thing that does not really have any long-term impact on someone’s life.

What if – instead of just a random act of kindness – we take an opportunity each day to share Jesus Christ in some way? 

I know of one man who is generous in giving to the homeless in his town. He makes sure they know he gives out of a grateful heart for what Jesus has done for him. 

We can be kind and generous, certainly – and we should be - but let’s not stop there. 

Take it that one step further and share the Good News of Jesus Christ with people you come across in your world.


“What if – instead of just a random act of kindness – we take an opportunity each day to share Jesus Christ in some way?”


Acts 1:8

“You will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere…”
