Pay It Forward
But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.
Psalm 115:18
Recommended Reading
Psalm 103
In the movie "Pay It Forward," the concept of paying someone back for a good deed done was replaced with the idea of passing the blessing on to another person instead, creating an endless chain of giving to others what was given to you. The thought was that, in time, people everywhere would look for ways to pay it forward and the world would become a better place.
As Christians, we have the opportunity every day to pay it forward to those who are lost in this world by giving them a glimpse of Christ through our kindness. We were each given a gift when Jesus hung on the cross and died for our sins, and every time we demonstrate His love to someone, we not only bless them, we also bless our Lord and Savior.
The Bible tells us that when we stand before our Maker to account for our time on earth, what we have done for "the least of these" will be as if we did it unto God Himself. So, let's eagerly search for ways to bless those that God places in ourpath with the ultimate aim of glorifying our Heavenly Father.
All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors.
