Fairest Lord Jesus Ten Steps To A Blessed Day

1. TODAY I WILL NOT STRIKE BACK.

If someone is rude; If someone is impatient;
If someone is unkind.. I will not respond in like manner. 
"Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs"

(1 Corinthians 13:5).


2. TODAY I WILL ASK GOD TO BLESS MY "ENEMY".

If I come across someone who treats me harshly
or unfairly, I will quietly ask God to bless that 
individual. I understand the "enemy" could be a 
family member, neighbor, co-worker or stranger.
"For God so loved the world He gave 
His one and only son so that whoever believes
in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" 

(John 3:16).

3. TODAY I WILL BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I SAY.

I will carefully choose and guard my words, being 
certain that I do not spread gossip, slander or
malign anyone in any way. 
"Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, 
always perseveres" 

(1 Corinthians 13:7).

4. TODAY I WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE.

I will find ways to help share the burden of another
person. I will find ways to make life more pleasant. 
"Greater love has no one than this that he lay down
his life for his friends"

(John 15:13).

5. TODAY I WILL FORGIVE.

I will forgive any hurt or injuries that come my way.
(I will also work to forgive injuries that have been 
inflicted upon me in the past). "God is love" 

(1 John 4:8).

6. TODAY I WILL DO SOMETHING NICE FOR
SOMEONE, BUT I WILL DO IT SECRETLY.

I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of
another person. We always thank God for you 
mentioning you in our prayers. 
"We continually remember before our God and Father 
your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by
love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our
Lord Jesus Christ" 

(1 Thessalonians 1:1-2).


7. TODAY I WILL TREAT OTHERS AS I WISH TO 
BE TREATED.

I will practice the Golden Rule - "Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you"- with
everyone I encounter.


8. TODAY I WILL RAISE THE SPIRITS OF SOMEONE
WHO IS DISCOURAGED.

My smile, my words, my expression or support, 
can make the difference to someone who is
wrestling with life. "If anyone is thirsty, 
let him come to Me and drink" 

(John 7:37).

9. TODAY I WILL NURTURE MY BODY.

I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods; 
I will thank God for my
body.

10. TODAY I WILL GROW SPIRITUALLY.

I will spend a little more time in prayer today; 
I will begin reading something spiritual or
inspirational today; I will find a quiet 
place (at some point during this day) and listen
to God's voice.



Scriptures

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and
My fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.
Psalm 91;2

When you pass through the waters, I will be
with you; And when you pass through the 
rivers, they will Not sweep over you. When 
you walk through the fire, You will not be 
burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. 
For I am the LORD, your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior-
Isaiah 43:2-3
