During one of my Bible studies this week, I stumbled upon a very moving verse. It said, "Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works." - Hebrews 10:24, NLT. This verse tugged on my heart and compelled me to action. Making someone else's day usually makes my day and I urge you to give it a try. Here are some ways to easily brighten someone's day. Enjoy!

1. Give a compliment

This one is extremely simple to complete, but the effects can last forever. Like someone's earrings? Tell them! Appreciate someone's joke? Tell them!

2. Offer to pray for them

Ask the person if you can pray for them. Even if there's nothing troubling them currently, still offering to pray for their well-being can bring a smile to a face. It shows that you care and are willing to spend time helping them.

3. Pay it forward

This one isn't as simple, but when possible, is wonderful. If you are ever in a financially-capable situation, pay for the person behind you in a drive-through or in line. This typically starts a pay-it-forward chain and brightens several peoples' days!

4. Lend a helping hand

If you see them struggling to carry groceries to their car, or just seem lost on campus and need directions, walk over and help out.

5. Send an "I'm thankful for you" text

This doesn't have to wait until Thanksgiving every year. If you're thankful for someone and glad they're in your life, shoot them a quick text and let them know. Just a few words can uplift someone's entire day.

As 1 Peter verses 8-10 says, "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. "

So, go get out there and share Christ with others by uplifting them and sharing God's love with them.
