When I was in the Boy Scouts as a young pre-teen I was taught to always leave things looking better than when I found them. Generally, that referred to our camping trips. Before we left a campsite we would make sure everything was clean, all trash is thrown away, and the area looked better than when we found it. The root of that policy was The Golden Rule – Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
I believe that also applies to our daily lives as well including where we work, the church we attend, or really anything we do. When you leave, leave it better than when you found it. I have seen times when someone took on a responsibility and when things got tough they just bailed leaving it in a mess. I have seen people through their poor choices destroy relationships and then just leave a mess. I have seen people utilize a facility and then leave it a mess after their event justifying it by saying people are paid to clean up after them. You know, no matter where we are we can be a part of the solution and not the problem. We can endure difficult times, sacrifice when needed, and allow the Holy Spirit to use us so that when we leave we have tried our best to leave things better than when we arrived. Let’s ask the Lord to help us be our best, to be kind and thoughtful so that wherever we are so people will see our good works and praise the Lord.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
I enjoy you daily devotions so much on here but wondering if you also have a book of daily devotions. Thanks.

Written by Jeremiah E. Rankin In 1880. Rankin wrote the first verse and then gave the music to a friend of his, T.G. Tomer. The music came from his organist at the church he pastored in N.Y. The First Congregational Church. Rankin pastored the church for 17 years, he wrote the song for his congregation as they had gospel meetings on Sunday Nights. He was the president of Howard University in N.Y. when he wrote the song.
A few years before his death, when president Theodore Roosevelt was giving his farewell speech in Memphis Tennessee a large crowd of about three thousand gathered and sang, “God Be With You Till We Meet Again.”
Though today most of the time it’s just the chorus that is sung, it is the heart felt message to each other before we leave, singing, God Be With You Till We Meet Again.
Love this song.

Ever notice those pictures of hamburgers, chicken, etc. on the windows of the fast food restaurant tempting you with the great food they have to offer? There is only one problem; their food never looks like the food in the advertisement. The picture shows a juicy patty on a perfect bun with glistening fresh vegetables and condiments. When you buy one it never looks like the one in the picture. I have to admit I don’t expect to get what’s advertised any more.
Unfortunately I fear that’s the world’s perception of many Christians and churches today. They are told about the love of Jesus, how He changed our life, about the power of God and how great our church is, but when they see our lives and how we face difficulty, how we live daily for the Lord, or how we act as part of the church is it as advertised? Unfortunately, often it isn’t. No, we aren’t perfect and we all make mistakes, but the world today needs to see the real deal; a true born again Christian. Perhaps truth in advertising and a genuine product would make a huge difference. The ad for a Christian should show a normal person with flaws, but saved by the perfect Lord Jesus Christ, striving to learn, grow and be better for the Lord each day. And we, as the product, need to live in such a way as to represent the Lord well as an ambassador for Christ.
2 Cor. 5:20-21 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Titus 2:6-7 Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity.
Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.
