Perfect Timing

 
Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
Ephesians 4:29(NLT)
 
God’s timing is perfect.
 
This scripture was BibleGateway.com’s
verse of the day on Saturday while I was on retreat with the Senior High church
group. One of our topics was ‘Loving Like God’.
 
What better verse to use for teenagers than this one from Ephesians?
 
I shared my belief that coincidences are from God. He sent Saturday’s verse, as well as Friday’s verse, for our discussion:
 
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own
interests, but take an interest in others, too.
Philippians 2:3-4
 
I feel as though God entered into the conversation with a lesson for all of us. True love for others is selfless and humble. A loving Christian listens with interest and encourages. Their words about others are kind and helpful whether or not they’re spoken in the person’s presence.
 
Do you believe coincidences are God-incidents?
Do your actions embody the kind of love described?
