Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. – Psalm 34:5(NLT)
RADIANCE OF JOY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you living in shame and darkness?
Are you isolating yourself and living in loneliness?
Give it up, ask help and run to Jesus Christ
He will fill you up with joy and change your life.
Those who look to him for help will be glowing
There is no shadow of shame, only joy overflowing
They will shine like a dazzling light to others
They will radiate God’s joy and change one another.

Can you spot the difference between a believer and an unbeliever? For those who do not know the Lord, they wouldn’t know the difference. However, those who are Christians would be able to detect the difference. Authentic believers have a certain exuberance in their character. They have this positive and patient attitude that attracts other people to them. Kindness and gentleness radiate in their personalities. They don’t judge others and they are forgiving and understanding. They usually don’t point fingers at other’s mistakes or faults. They are very loving and peaceful people. They know how to rest and they don’t do things to please or get approval. They pursue Jesus through his word and obey his will. There is no trace of shame or darkness in their spirits; just sheer joy.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for the light that you shine on me.
REFLECTION
Why do you think that asking God for help makes a Christian radiant with joy?

Your kindness will reward you but your cruelty will destroy you. -Proverbs 11:17 (NLT)
KINDNESS VERSUS CRUELTY
A poem and essay by ILMA
A kind word encourages everyone
A thoughtful act brings joy to someone
Your kindness will go a long way
It will surely make Satan go away.
When you are wicked and cruel to anybody
You are manifesting pride and being haughty
Any form of cruelty destroys you and others
It will bring death to your sisters and brothers.
________________________________________
Have you ever been with someone cruel? It is exhausting to be around wicked people. They will always find something to bicker about. They take pleasure in putting down others. If you closely watch the lives of those who are wicked, you will notice that they live bitter, hopeless and discontented lives.
Kind people on the other hand encourages others and keeps a positive outlook in life. They go out of their way to help or bless someone just because they love God so much. Their kindness is always remembered by the recipient of their generosity. You will find out that kind people are always blessed by God and others. They inspire and draw people
to be closer to God and to praise and glorify him.
The bible tells us that kindness is always rewarded by the heavenly Father while cruelty ruins or destroys the person and those around him.
PRAYER
Lord, protect me from the temptation to be cruel.
REFLECTION
How would you respond to someone’s cruelty?
