In my devotional , Quiet Moments With God , for Women, I have read these 10 Ways of How to Show the Love of Jesus to Others . They are ;
1. Speak to People. There is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting.
2. Smile at people . It takes 72 muscles to frown, 14 to smile.
3. Call people by name . The sweetest music is the sound of one’s own name.
4. Be friendly and helpful.
5. Be cordial. Speak and act as if everything you do is a pleasure.
6. Be genuinely interested in people. You can like everybody if you try.
7. Be generous with praise – cautious with criticism.
8. Be considerate of the feelings of others. It will be appreciated.
9. Be thoughtful of the opinion of others.
10. Be alert to give service. What counts most is what we do for others.
These things take time, but like the time spent in perfecting things, it is well worth the extra effort, as the author said in this devotional.
Hmm ……, I will always try to follow the above. Can you guys?

Sure we can do it, and I believe in those sayings... Really I have already tried those things, but the no.10 sometimes are the one that I cant be done sometimes, if there is what we call pressure. I could not think and cant slow.. Maybe its also a reminder for me and also a rebuke that not all things must be fast... Also we need to take a pause and analyse, and think, before reactive and decide.
Thanks for that Advice!!!

No 10 is actually easy. If you cannot help in financial means, then you can share your time and care with a person in need of it.

Well, you said your friends are already separated. That's where you can help.
You can comfort them, by just being there to cheer them up by your presence.

every thing is good advise except you can like everyone, sometimes there are just people you cannot like, I would not force myself to like a person that is mean and nasty.

It's really a big challenge to like somebody who is mean and nasty, winterose. So, God is challenging us , as he have also said, to throw a bread instead of stone, to somebody who threw a stone to you.
I think what we could do is perhaps to just pray for that person, to be able to realize his bad trait.

Just like you Jazel, i am a bit hesitant with number 9 and sometimes with number 7, but i would always really try.
I tend to always give my opinion sometimes, even if it would hurt another's feeling if i know that i am right. Though, i try to curb it sometimes.

My mentor says, live each day like it is the last day.
Of course- it's not like okay, sit there and do nothing because the world will end tomorrow -hehehe.
It's living each day, giving our best.
Do our best at work, do our best in everything that we do as if it is our last day.
Show our love to our loved ones because we never knew if tomorrow ever comes.
Help every people we can reach whenever we have the capacity and ability to do.
Never say NO to someone who ask help as long as we can do it- because, it is not everyday that an angel in disguise come for help.
Living like this everyday- you will get used to it and at the end of the day you may ask yourself
"what good have I done to others- was it enough?"
and the next day you will feel you are not giving enough or haven't done much goodness to anyone or other people.
God's words manifest on HIS followers
- by doing these, you do not need to preach HIS name because people can prove that there is good in your existence.

Very well said, jaiho, and it's very true.
At the end of the day, we have to have something good that in us to tell God, when he asks what are those.

Nice message! Sometimes I forget to show my love to others because of the fear of being taking for granted. But being good to others is not about pleasing them, but pleasing God. Thanks for sharing these reminders. I will try my best to follow these everyday.
