Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit… and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Psalm 51:12-13 Today, when you go to church or the to the store, reach out to someone and be kind. If there is a first-time guest who walks in through the doors of your church, put yourself in their shoes; they don’t know anyone, they feel out-of-place, and they are hungry enough for God to get themselves out of bed and get ready to go to a place with strangers. Your smile, your kindness, and your love can…
