From the book "Thirty one Days to Becoming a Blessing" by Tim Flener

two pages from forty page help and devotional.  Amazon.com



                       DAY SIX

  The Apostle Paul prayed for open doors and the boldness, to go through them.  He could have been satisfied with the way his life was going; at home in his recliner getting his education under Gamaliel, online.  But he had a holy desire to be a blessing and come what may,  he was just that.
  “And why?  Because I do not love you-do not have a preference for you, wish you well and regard your welfare?  God perceives and knows that I do!”  -Paul/ 2 Cor. 11:11. (Amplified) 
  You can read that tenth and eleventh chapter of 2 Corinthians, to investigate what lengths he would go to be a blessing to the people and cities he came in contact with.
  Stop again and begin to talk with God.  Praise Him then ask for an open door and the love and power, and resources,  to enter and speak and act as you are guided to.


                       DAY SEVEN

  Time and again the first four gospels tell us that Jesus had compassion.  He saw people as, sheep without a shepherd.  They might have been, but we who believe, can say;  “The Lord is my shepherd.”
  There are those that wander aimlessly. Many are following the devil and his followers to their destruction. What is worse they do not desire that the Lord, be their shepherd.  The Bible says we are sheep that have gone astray and going our own way.
  That breaks the heart of God and it should ours as well.  If we do have the Holy Spirit of God in ourselves, we should also have compassion on those that appear  to be going places. They are heading to the cliff and soon will need rescuing!
  Do you and I love enough to Share the truth, show the truth, so help us God?
“For Christ's love compels us...”
(Either in a dictionary or on line look for a good definition on the word; Compelled.
