Helping out our Siblings {Day 3 of 5}

“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” 1 John 3:18

 “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24

Today, make it your goal to help your siblings all you can. Take them by surprise and show them your love in action. Do their chores, assist them, read them a book, or do something that they would appreciate. Do not do it to be “seen of men,” but rather to glorify God and serve our siblings.

Some tips to help you through today’s challenge:

       1. Start your day in prayer, asking God to help you see ways you can show love to your siblings.

       2. Actively look for ways to serve. It may be helpful to think ahead of things you can do for each sibling.

       3. Review 1 John 3:18 and Colossians 3:23 at least five times throughout the day to keep focus on why you are doing this particular challenge.

       4. Keep a small journal of your day. If you have failed to serve in an area, write it down; if you have succeeded in another area, write it down as well.

       5. End your day in prayer, thanking God for your siblings and the opportunity to bless their day.
