Don’t Give Up on People
It can be discouraging to love people who seem determined to reject God. But today's Gem of Knowledge reminds us that heaven sees what we cannot. "You may not fully realize the difference your love can make while in this world, but someday you will. Don't give up on people. Just keep loving, even when they seem lost or too far gone. You just never know what could happen. Amen." Our responsibility has never been to change hearts. That belongs to God. Our calling is to faithfully love, pray, speak truth with grace, and leave the results in His hands. So don't quit - Jesus never does.💎 ✨Click to read the full devotional [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Today’s One Year Bible Verses: 1 Chronicles 16:37–18:17, Romans 2:1–24, Psalm 10:16–18, Proverbs 19:8–9
Keep Loving… You Never Know
It can be discouraging to love people who seem determined to reject God. We pray, encourage, forgive, and patiently walk beside them, yet sometimes it feels like nothing changes. The temptation is to believe our efforts have been wasted or that someone is simply too far gone.
But today’s Gem of Knowledge reminds us that heaven sees what we cannot.
“You may not fully realize the difference your love can make while in this world, but someday you will. Don’t give up on people. Just keep loving, even when they seem lost or too far gone. You just never know what could happen. Amen.”
Our responsibility has never been to change hearts. That belongs to God. Our calling is to faithfully love, pray, speak truth with grace, and leave the results in His hands.
In today’s reading, David’s victories in 1 Chronicles were not accomplished overnight. They came one battle at a time as he faithfully followed the Lord. In the same way, God often works in people’s hearts through countless small moments that may seem insignificant to us. A kind word, a patient response, a prayer whispered in secret, or a simple act of compassion may become another step God uses to draw someone closer to Himself.
Paul echoes this truth in Romans 2. He reminds us that it is God’s kindness that leads people to repentance—not our harshness, condemnation, or impatience.
“Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you?… Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?” — Romans 2:4 (NLT)
How many times has God’s kindness patiently pursued each one of us? How many people loved us before we finally surrendered to Christ? Most of us can look back and see countless individuals God placed in our lives long before we realized how much they were influencing us.
Psalm 10 reminds us that God sees every hurting person. He hears the cries of the oppressed and strengthens those whose hope is in Him.
“LORD, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them.” — Psalm 10:17 (NLT)
That means no prayer is unnoticed. No loving act is forgotten. Even if we never witness the harvest, God does.
Perhaps the person you’ve been praying for will remember your kindness years from now when they reach the end of themselves. Maybe the child who seems uninterested today will one day recall your faithful example. Perhaps the coworker who laughs at your faith will someday seek you out because they know where genuine hope can be found.
We rarely see the entire story while we’re living it.
One day, whether in this life or the next, God may reveal just how many lives were touched because you chose to keep loving instead of giving up.
So don’t quit – Jesus never does.
Keep loving.
Keep praying.
Keep forgiving.
Keep pointing people toward Jesus.
Because you never know what God is doing beneath the surface. 💎
Action (5 Minutes with God)
Take just 5 minutes to be with the Lord today. Ask Him:
- “Lord, what do You want me to know about this personally?”
- Journal what He gives you through His Holy Spirit.
- Then ask, “What do You want me to do?”
- Journal what He reveals – then do it!
Think of one person you’ve been tempted to give up on. Instead of withdrawing, ask God to show you one simple way to demonstrate His love to them this week—whether through prayer, encouragement, forgiveness, or a quiet act of kindness.
Prayer
Father, thank You for never giving up on me. Help me to love people with the same patience and kindness You have shown me. When I become discouraged, remind me that You are always working in ways I cannot see. Give me strength to keep praying, keep loving, and keep pointing others to Jesus, trusting You with the outcome. Use even the smallest acts of obedience for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, amen.

I Choose to Encourage: The Power of Words
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." — John 1:1 (NIV) Words are powerful. With a few carefully chosen words, we can inspire someone to keep going, mend a broken relationship, or offer hope in a difficult season. Yet words can also wound, discourage, and leave scars that last for years. Think about the words that have impacted your life. Perhaps someone spoke encouragement over you when you doubted yourself.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” — John 1:1 (NIV)
Words are powerful.
With a few carefully chosen words, we can inspire someone to keep going, mend a broken relationship, or offer hope in a difficult season. Yet words can also wound, discourage, and leave scars that last for years.
Think about the words that have impacted your life. Perhaps someone spoke encouragement over you when you doubted yourself. Maybe a teacher, mentor, friend, or family member saw something in you that you could not yet see in yourself. Their words helped shape who you became.
Unfortunately, many of us can also recall hurtful words that have lingered long after they were spoken. Words have a way of embedding themselves in our hearts and influencing how we see ourselves and the world around us.
That is why John 1:1 is so profound:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John identifies Jesus as the Word. Before creation, before time itself, the Word existed. Through Him, God brought life, order, and purpose into the world.
God chose words to create.
Throughout Scripture, we see the power of God’s spoken Word. He spoke light into darkness. He spoke truth into confusion. He spoke life where there was nothing.
If words matter so much to God, they should matter to us.
As followers of Christ, we have an opportunity every day to reflect His character through the words we speak. Our conversations can bring healing instead of hurt. Our comments can build confidence instead of tearing people down. Our encouragement can help others see what God is doing in their lives.
Encouragement is more than simply saying something nice. It is intentionally speaking truth, hope, and life into someone else’s journey. Encouragement reminds people that they are seen, valued, and loved by God.
The world offers plenty of criticism, negativity, and division. Social media feeds, news headlines, and daily conversations can quickly become places where people feel attacked rather than uplifted.
What if Christians became known for encouragement?
What if our words reflected the heart of Christ?
What if we paused before speaking and asked ourselves, “Will these words build up or tear down?”
Every day presents opportunities to encourage:
- Thank someone for their faithfulness.
- Speak hope to someone who is struggling.
- Send a text of appreciation.
- Pray with a friend.
- Remind someone of God’s promises.
Small words can have a lasting impact.
Today, choose to encourage.
Let your words reflect the One who is called the Word. Let them bring light into someone’s darkness and hope into someone’s uncertainty.
Because words are never neutral. They shape how we see ourselves, others, and God. They can unite or divide, heal or harm, inspire or discourage.
May we use our words wisely and intentionally, choosing encouragement wherever we go.
Reflection Questions
- Who has encouraged you with their words recently?
- Is there someone in your life who needs encouragement today?
- How can your words better reflect the love and truth of Christ?
Sometimes the simplest choice—choosing words that give life—can make the biggest difference.
With love and joy,
Laura
This reflection connects with Day 13: “I Choose to Encourage” from the Today I Choose devotional. Each day offers practical encouragement and biblical truth to help you make intentional choices that strengthen your faith and impact those around you.

Why was his head cut off?
Have you ever heard of such a death before, for this specific reason?
What did he do? He told a king it was not lawful for him to marry his brother's wife.
That was the motive for killing John the Baptist.
In this generation, many filled with hate will want and demand beheading of those with faith in God. Why?
They believe that #gay and #lesbian marriage is unlawful, and outside of God's will.

How Can I Make A Difference?
It's easy to think we need to do something extraordinary to make a difference. But God often uses the smallest acts of kindness to create life-changing and eternal impact. In today's Gem of Knowledge, the Lord reminds us, "Giant impacts can come from small things. Think of a meteor. They are fairly small compared to the impact they make. Your loving kindness can be like that to a hurting heart. Amen." What a beautiful picture. A meteor is tiny compared to a planet, yet when it collides with the earth, its impact can be enormous. In much the same way, a simple act of kindness may seem insignificant to us, but we rarely see the lasting effect it has on another person's heart. Do something loving today. 💎 [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Today’s One Year Bible Verses: 1 Chronicles 15:1–16:36, Romans 1:18–32, Psalm 10:1–15, Proverbs 19:6–7
Small Acts. Eternal Impact.
It’s easy to believe that making a difference requires doing something big.
We imagine changing someone’s life by giving a large gift, leading a ministry, or accomplishing something extraordinary. Yet God often works in exactly the opposite way. Throughout Scripture, He delights in using what seems small to accomplish what seems impossible.
In today’s Gem of Knowledge, the Lord reminds us,
“Giant impacts can come from small things. Think of a meteor. They are fairly small compared to the impact they make. Your loving kindness can be like that to a hurting heart. Amen.”
What a beautiful picture.
A meteor is tiny compared to a planet, yet when it collides with the earth, its impact can be enormous. In much the same way, a simple act of kindness may seem insignificant to us, but we rarely see the lasting effect it has on another person’s heart.
As I read today’s passages, I was drawn to David’s celebration as the Ark of the Covenant was finally brought to Jerusalem. It was a day filled with worship, rejoicing, music, and thanksgiving. But one detail especially stood out to me. After the celebration, David blessed the people in the name of the Lord, and then he gave every man and woman a loaf of bread, a cake of dates, and a cake of raisins.
At first glance, it doesn’t seem like much.
It wasn’t a fortune. It wasn’t a grand display of wealth.
It was a simple gift.
Yet it communicated something far greater. David wasn’t simply feeding people. He was reminding every person that they were seen, valued, included, and cared for. Sometimes love is expressed through remarkably ordinary acts of generosity.
Isn’t that how God often works in our lives?
A timely phone call.
An encouraging text.
A warm smile.
A handwritten note.
A sincere prayer.
A meal delivered to someone who is overwhelmed.
None of those things seem particularly large on their own. Yet at just the right moment, they can become the very evidence someone needed to believe that God still sees them.
Paul reminds us in Romans that our world desperately needs God because without Him, hearts become darkened and people drift farther from His truth. In a culture that often chooses selfishness over compassion, every act of Christlike kindness becomes a light pointing people back to the heart of God.
David declared in today’s psalm, “Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them” (Psalm 10:17, NLT). What an incredible thought. God hears the cries no one else hears. And sometimes He answers those prayers by sending one of His children to offer a simple act of love.
Even Proverbs reminds us how lonely life can become for those who are struggling. It says, “The poor are avoided even by their own neighbors—while the rich have many ‘friends'” (Proverbs 19:7, NLT). The world is often drawn to people who have something to offer, but Jesus was drawn to those everyone else overlooked.
As His followers, we are called to do the same.
Never underestimate the power of your kindness.
You may think it’s only a conversation.
Only a hug.
Only a prayer.
Only an invitation.
Only a few encouraging words.
But God specializes in taking what seems small and using it to accomplish something eternal.
You may never know this side of Heaven how one simple act of loving kindness changed the course of someone’s life.
So don’t wait until you think you can do something great.
Do something loving today.
God can make the impact far greater than you ever imagined. 💎
Action (5 Minutes with God)
Take 5 minutes to be with the Lord today. Ask Him:
- “Lord, what do You want me to know about this personally?”
- Journal what He gives you through His Holy Spirit.
- Then ask, “What do You want me to do?”
- Journal what He reveals – then do it!
Allow the Lord to direct you to someone who may need your loving kindness today. Trust Him to use your obedience in ways you may never see.
Prayer
Dear Lord,, thank You for showing me kindness over and over again, even in the smallest ways. Help me never overlook the opportunities You place before me to encourage someone else. Fill my heart with compassion and open my eyes to those who are hurting. Teach me to be faithful in the little things, trusting that You can use even the smallest act of love to make an eternal difference. May my words, my actions, and my kindness always point others to You. In Your mighty name I pray, amen.

Love from a Soft Heart
Have you ever noticed how easy it is for our hearts to become a little harder with each disappointment? In today's Gem of Knowledge, the Lord lovingly says, "Soften your heart towards all people, specially those who are struggling. Find it within yourself to help them and love them as you rely on Me as your Source. Amen." Perhaps today you'll encounter someone who is struggling, or maybe you struggle with them. Instead of allowing your heart to harden, ask the Lord to soften it. Ask Him to let you see that person through His eyes and love them with His love. When we rely on God as our Source, our compassion doesn't run out. Because His never does. 💎 [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Today’s One Year Bible Verses: 1 Chronicles 12:19–14:17, Romans 1:1–17, Psalm 9:13–20, Proverbs 19:4–5
A Soft Heart Begins with God
Have you ever noticed how easy it is for our hearts to become a little harder with each disappointment?
Someone betrays our trust. Another person takes advantage of our kindness. We help someone who never says thank you. Before long, we begin protecting ourselves. We become more cautious, less patient, and a little slower to show compassion because we don’t want to be hurt again.
While those feelings are understandable, they are not where God wants us to remain.
In today’s Gem of Knowledge, the Lord lovingly says,
“Soften your heart towards all people, specially those who are struggling. Find it within yourself to help them and love them as you rely on Me as your Source. Amen.”
I love that last phrase: “as you rely on Me as your Source.“
God never asks us to love others out of our own limited strength. If He did, we would eventually run dry. Instead, He invites us to receive His love first, then allow it to overflow into the lives of others. The more we draw from Him, the more compassion we have to give.
1 Chronicles 12-14 gives us a beautiful picture of this. As David’s kingdom grew stronger, people from every tribe continued coming to him. Some had once stood on the opposite side. Others came from different backgrounds, experiences, and loyalties. Yet David welcomed those whom God was bringing to him. He wasn’t building a kingdom based on favoritism or past mistakes. He was allowing God to unite people with different stories into one purpose.
That is still how God works today.
The church is filled with people from different walks of life. Some are mature in their faith. Others have only recently come to know Christ. Some are overcoming addiction. Others are healing from deep wounds, broken relationships, or years of guilt and shame. None of us arrive without scars.
Instead of asking, “Why are they like that?” perhaps we should begin asking, “Lord, what have they walked through?”
That simple change in perspective softens our hearts.
Paul understood this as well. As he opened his letter to the Romans, he declared that he was “not ashamed of the Good News about Christ, for it is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16, NLT). The gospel is for everyone—the wealthy and the poor, the religious and the rebellious, the successful and the struggling. If God’s grace is offered so freely to all, then our hearts should never become selective in who we choose to love.
David also reminds us in today’s Psalm that God sees those who suffer. He prays, “LORD, have mercy on me. See how my enemies torment me” (Psalm 9:13, NLT). God hears the cries that no one else hears. He notices the pain that others overlook. When we choose compassion, we begin reflecting the very heart of our Father.
Proverbs warns us that “Wealth makes many ‘friends’; poverty drives them all away” (Proverbs 19:4, NLT). Sadly, the world often values people for what they can offer instead of simply loving them because they bear God’s image. As followers of Christ, we are called to be different. We don’t love people because they can benefit us. We love them because Christ first loved us.
Perhaps today you’ll encounter someone who is struggling, or maybe you struggle with them.
Maybe they’re discouraged.
Maybe they’re lonely.
Maybe they’re difficult to love.
Instead of allowing your heart to harden, ask the Lord to soften it. Ask Him to let you see that person through His eyes and love them with His love. You may not be able to solve every problem they face, but you can offer kindness, encouragement, a listening ear, or a sincere prayer.
Sometimes the best thing we can do for someone is simply reminding them they are seen, valued, and loved.
When we rely on God as our Source, our compassion doesn’t run out.
Because His never does. 💎
Action (5 Minutes with God)
Take 5 minutes to be with the Lord today. Ask Him:
- “Lord, what do You want me to know about this personally?”
- Journal what He gives you through His Holy Spirit.
- Then ask, “What do You want me to do?”
- Journal what He reveals – then do it!
Let God soften your heart today and deepen your love and understanding towards all people.
Prayer
Dear Lord, thank You for loving me with patience, mercy, and grace. Forgive me for the times my heart has become hardened by disappointment or hurt. Fill me again with Your love and help me rely on You as my Source so I never grow weary of loving others. Open my eyes to those who are struggling and give me the courage to encourage them, serve them, and point them to You. May my heart reflect the compassion of Jesus in every conversation and every opportunity You place before me. In Your precious name I pray, amen.

Test everything by the Word and the Spirit (John 16:13)

Jesus stands beside an overflowing stone fountain in a peaceful garden while a believer fills a clay pitcher with water to carry to weary, hurting people, symbolizing Christ as the endless source of love, compassion, and spiritual strength.
@Quentin A man does not need to choose from church A or church B, but he could read the word of God himself and live according to it, so that he could belong to the only church that is in heaven, a church not made by men at all, but formed by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Regarding the inverted cross: "The Vatican did not respond to a request for comment." 🤔 I can find no official statement from the Vatican affirming the upside-down crucifixion of Peter.

Where did he go after he died on the cross? Jesus went to hell. What?
He did not sin, so why would he go to hell? He went to preach deliverance to the captives.
And on the third day, he was raised again.

The cosmological argument suggests everything has a cause, leading to the necessity of a first cause, often attributed to God.
This philosophical reasoning supports the existence of a higher power as the universe's origin

Learning To Love The Unlovable
It's easy to make assumptions about people. But what if we're only seeing the surface? In today's Gem of Knowledge, the Lord gently reminds us, "Be compassionate and loving to everyone. You don't know all they battle, the enemy that torments them, and the pain they carry. Always show loving kindness, mercy, and grace. Like Me. Amen." Those words invite us to pause before we judge and to remember that every person we encounter is fighting battles we may never see. Sometimes the greatest sermon we preach is simply the way we love people. 💎 [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Today’s One Year Bible Verses: 1 Chronicles 11:1–12:18, Acts 28:1–31, Psalm 9:1–12, Proverbs 19:1–3
See Beyond the Surface
How quickly we can make assumptions about people.
We see someone who is impatient and think they’re rude. We meet someone who seems distant and assume they don’t care. Someone lashes out, and we conclude they’re simply mean or difficult.
But what if we’re only seeing the surface?
In today’s Gem of Knowledge, the Lord gently reminds us,
“Be compassionate and loving to everyone. You don’t know all they battle, the enemy that torments them, and the pain they carry. Always show loving kindness, mercy, and grace. Like Me. Amen.”
Those words invite us to pause before we judge and to remember that every person we encounter is fighting battles we may never see.
Today’s reading in Acts gives us a beautiful picture of this kind of compassion. After surviving a terrifying shipwreck, Paul and the others washed ashore on the island of Malta. The people there could have viewed these strangers with suspicion or ignored their needs altogether. Instead, Scripture tells us they “showed us unusual kindness.” They welcomed them, built a fire because of the cold and rain, and cared for complete strangers in their time of need.
That simple act of compassion became the beginning of a testimony. Paul would go on to heal many who were sick on the island, and the people who had shown kindness were themselves greatly blessed. Their mercy opened the door for God to work in powerful ways.
How often does God do the same through us?
A smile may brighten someone’s darkest day. A listening ear may become the answer to a prayer. A simple act of kindness may be the very thing that reminds someone God has not forgotten them.
Proverbs reminds us,
“Better to be poor and honest than a fool who speaks dishonestly” (Proverbs 19:1, NLT).
True wisdom isn’t measured only by what we know but also by how we treat people. A gracious heart reflects the character of Christ far more than clever words ever could.
David understood God’s character well. In Psalm 9 he declares,
“The LORD is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble” (Psalm 9:9, NLT).
If God is a refuge for the hurting, shouldn’t His children become places of refuge too? We are called to reflect His heart by extending mercy instead of condemnation, patience instead of irritation, and compassion instead of criticism.
Imagine if every person you met today was carrying an invisible backpack filled with grief, fear, anxiety, disappointment, or a spiritual enemy that oppressed them.
Would you speak differently?
Would you be slower to judge?
Would you offer more grace?
Jesus did.
He saw beyond people’s behavior and into their hearts. He noticed the overlooked, welcomed the rejected, touched the untouchable, forgave the guilty, and loved those everyone else had written off.
He calls us to do the same.
You may never fully know what someone is carrying. But you can choose to lighten their load instead of adding to it. Let your words heal instead of wound. Let your actions reflect the kindness of Christ.
Because sometimes the greatest sermon we preach is simply the way we love people. 💎
Action (5 Minutes with God)
Take 5 minutes to be with the Lord today. Ask Him:
- “Lord, what do You want me to know about this personally?”
- Journal what He gives you through His Holy Spirit.
- Then ask, “What do You want me to do?”
- Journal what He reveals – then do it!
Let the Lord reveal your own personal revelation on this today. Then as you walk throughout your day, before reacting to someone’s words or actions today, pause and ask yourself, “What battle might they be fighting that I cannot see?” Then choose to respond with the same compassion, mercy, and grace that Jesus continually shows you.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the endless mercy and grace You have shown me. Forgive me for the times I have judged others without knowing their struggles. Help me to see people through Your eyes. Fill my heart with compassion, my words with kindness, and my actions with love. Make me a refuge for the hurting and a reflection of Your grace wherever I go. May others experience Your love through me today. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

A believer looks compassionately at a weary stranger. The image reveals the contrast between the man's outward appearance and the hidden spiritual battle Jesus sees, as chains around his wounded heart begin to break in Christ's healing light.

A quotation from Robert Green Ingersoll
Is it necessary that Heaven should borrow its light from the glare of Hell?
Infinite punishment is infinite cruelty, endless injustice, immortal meanness. To worship an eternal gaoler hardens, debases, and pollutes even the vilest soul. While there is one sad and breaking heart in the universe, no good being can be perfectly happy.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Lecture (1881-05-01) “The Great Infidels,” Booth’s Theater, New York
