John 20:21
"[Jesus] said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.""
Today is Pentecost Sunday, the day the disciples gathered together in one place and received the power of the Holy Spirit. I am reminded this morning how we gain strength from each other and how the Holy Spirit renews the face of the earth.
I was speaking to someone who always blesses himself before each meal, no matter who's company he is in, he does this. This generates a conversation with a business acquaintance and now this acquaintance's family says a blessing before ever meal.
It is simple daily actions that changes the world. Just living your faith outwardly empowers others to have strength. Jesus wants us to live our faith outwardly in small ways and big ways, sometimes with words.
Dear Lord God, I thank you for the peace this morning. I thank you for your vastness and seeing you in all things. Help us see how in small ways we can go forth. Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. Amen.

1 John 4:4b
"The one that is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
