Sometimes we think that to be missionaries, we need to be dropping everything at home and gallivanting off to Africa or India or the Amazon rainforests. But the truth is, we are all called to be missionaries right here in our homes too! We are called to bless the people in our lives wherever we are. 💕
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. — Matthew 5:14-16
In no way shape or form do I have a naturally giving heart, but we were all called to be blessings to others and letting the light of God shine through us. So let’s work on learning how to be a blessing to others together! Now here is a list of 115 ways to bless others and show signs of being good, Godly friends! 💛
For the purpose of today’s blog post, I helped you to create this FREE checklist of Super Fun, Intentional, Conversation Starters so that you can start blessing those around you by diving deep into Christ-centred conversations! Just click the image below!
