The desire to express our love for God and our neighbour should be the motivation behind what we do each day and how we work through our daily agenda. At the end of each day we should take inventory of how well we demonstrated God’s love in our interactions with others. When we do an honest assessment, we can be pleased with those things we managed to do well. In those areas where we know we fell short we can ask God to help us improve.
What standard do we use for evaluating how we are honouring God in all our affairs? Jesus said we are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbour as ourselves.
Did each of us wake up this morning loving God with our whole being and desiring to be a part of what God wants to do through us today? Did we ask God for guidance in all those things we planned to do? When unplanned events occurred, did we function in a way that was pleasing to God and encouraging to our neighbour? Were we conscious of God being with us as we carried out the events of the day?
Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. (Jeremiah 33:3 NIV)
God's word assures us that when we call upon Him for help with our daily agenda, He will answer us and give us wisdom and discernment to do those things that please Him.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I am grateful that You give me the desire and the will to do what pleases You. Help me to love You with all my heart and to seek You in all my ways. Help me to encourage and love others as You love and encourage me. Amen
