Luke 11:40-41 10-16-2018 dailythoughts.com

"You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you." Luke‬ ‭11:40-41‬

Maybe you are not in a position of authority but think about the burdens you place upon others.  Do you pass judgement upon someone based upon what you think you know or believe what you have been told.  Are you laying on heavy burdens upon others, and believe yourself to be holier than thou, this was the thinking of the Pharisees.  

Do you give kind words to others or is what is coming out vile?  Do you give what God has given you.  God created you in His image, you were made pure and holy.  It takes effort and careful thought to give what God gives.  Greater is He that is in me, give Him away today.  Relieve the load upon another weary traveler, guard your tongue, do not pass judgement, take others as they are now and not who they were or have done in the past.  This is another form of almsgiving we sometimes fail to see.  If you see others as how God sees them, His creation then you are reflecting God within and He is greater in you and you are being cleansed within.  

Dear Lord God, I thank You for this day, I praise You this day Lord.  You are greater than all the things that are out there, You are within.  I thank You for Your strength today Lord, I thank You for the battle armor and I thank You for making me holy.  Bless those in the fight, lift them up Lord and show them You love them.  Comfort them in their afflictions and purify them on their journey.  Prayers for the Pharisees, May they see what they are doing when they look in the mirror and see Your creation, a reflection of Jesus seeking to please His Father.  In Jesus name, Amen.  

Mary, Mother of Love, pray for us.
