THOUGHTFULNESS

The ladies at church are reading through JR Miller's book Things To Live For. In January we read the chapter called The Grace of Thoughtfulness.

JR Miller says:

"Too often our thoughtfulness is an afterthought; the problem is to get it to its true place, where it will become motive and inspiration to gentleness, instead of pain and penitence over a failure in love’s duty."

God says:

"Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up." 
Romans 15:2

"Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others," 
Philippians 2:4

What a challenge to be more thoughtful and to be prepared whenever a need should arise.
