Maybe I should ask for a sign for good, too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I was thinking about this and wondering what kind of sign God would give me, He stopped me and said, \u201cWhat if you are the sign someone is looking for today?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I realized that I didn\u2019t need a sign. I already knew that God loved me and I really had everything I needed. I should stop focusing on myself and see if I could be a blessing to someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those of us who have accepted God\u2019s love by making Jesus our Savior, are supposed to be the signs that point others to Christ, to the cross, and to Heaven. And we should see how we can help those who are lost or in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For we are His workmanship \u2013 created in Christ Jesus for good works, that God prepared in advance that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f9f5f3\"><em>Father God, I praise You, I\u2019ve come to seek Your face \nJesus, Lord, I thank You for Your mercy and Your grace\nHoly Spirit, lead me and guide me every day\nHelp me to be a light to shine and show someone the way.<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f9f5f3\"><em>Lord, You are so loving, so merciful and kind\nYou sent Your word to heal us in body, soul, and mind\nHoly Spirit, guide me in what to do and say\nLet me be Your hand of love and touch someone today.<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f9f5f3\"><em>Lord, I pray You\u2019ll use me to brighten someone\u2019s life\nWho feels so defeated by fear and doubt and strife\nHelp me to be a friend today and show how much You care\nAnd may they see Your face in mine as Your love I share.<\/em><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For we are His workmanship \u2013 created in Christ Jesus for good works, that God prepared in advance that we should walk in them.
