Be the First to Extend Hope by Kathy Cobb

25 Aug Be the First to Extend Hope by Kathy Cobb

This morning I was reading about the ripple effect we have as women when we set our minds to a cause. As followers of Jesus, we are history makers. Our words and actions can change the dynamics of family, community, and nations. In Jesus, we are anointed to be the first to extend hope, love, and kindness in our area of influence. Let us be mindful not to be caught up in the world’s turmoil but to seek and follow the one who brings positive change in lives – Jesus!

When we choose to focus on Christ’s teachings and let His love guide our steps, we create ripples that extend far beyond what we can see. Each time we speak a kind word, lend a helping hand, or offer a prayer, we are planting seeds of hope that can grow into something far greater than we could imagine. The impact we have as women, especially when we align our actions with God’s will, is powerful and far-reaching.

It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the negativity and chaos in the world today. But as women of faith, we are called to be different. We are called to rise above the noise and be a beacon of hope and love in our homes, workplaces, and communities. By staying rooted in God’s word and seeking His guidance daily, we can maintain our focus on what truly matters—spreading His love and making a positive difference in the lives of others.

Remember, the ripple effect starts with just one drop. Your decision to act with kindness and compassion, even in the smallest of ways, can set off a chain reaction of blessings. As you go about your day, think of the ways you can extend hope and love to those around you. Whether it’s a simple smile, a word of encouragement, or a heartfelt prayer, your actions can transform lives and bring others closer to Christ.

So, let us embrace our roles as history makers, empowered by the Holy Spirit to spread hope and love wherever we go. Together, we can create a ripple effect that touches hearts, changes lives, and brings glory to God.
