A Reflection For When We Help People Grudgingly
Send us Fan MailA Reflection for When We Help GrudginglySometimes we do the compassionate thing, but we do it grudgingly.True compassion isn’t just about what we do.It’s also about how we do it and how we make people feel when we do.Romans 12 talks about the different gifts we have and how we should use them. It says, “the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.” — from Romans 12:8When we care for each other, may we do it cheerfully, not grudgingly.I’m Horace McMillon.

A Reflection For When We Struggle With Our Differences
Send us Fan MailA Reflection for When We Struggle to Get Along Sometimes we wonder how we can possibly live well together with all of our differences.“How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!” — Psalm 133:1Does unity require uniformity? Do we all have to think, believe, and act alike?For the psalmist, unity is less about uniformity and more about the connection, care, and concern we share.Large families seldom agree on anything except the fact that they are family. And that’s what matters most.I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

When We Can’t Make Things Right
Send us Fan Mail“When We Can’t Make Things Right”Sometimes we can’t stop people from heading in the wrong direction. Joseph was his father’s favorite.

They planned to take Joseph’s life.But one brother spoke up.“Shed no blood; throw him into this pit here in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him.” — from Genesis 37:22He planned to come back and rescue Joseph. He couldn’t persuade his brothers to love Joseph, but he was able to keep them from killing him.Sometimes we can’t make things right. But we can often make things better.I’m Horace McMillon.
