The Grocery Buggy

As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them. Luke 6:31 WEB.

We had to park way out in the parking lot that day, and it was hot when we came out of the grocery store. There were no cart returns nearby, and I didn't really feel like taking the buggy all the way back to the building.

I saw a few other shopping carts nearby that people had left out in the parking lot. As I contemplated leaving my grocery buggy there with the others, this scripture came to my mind: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I knew without a doubt that it was the Holy Spirit speaking, and it brought immediate conviction. So I gathered all the buggies together and took them back.

It was a small thing, but God starts with small things. If you obey, He will give you bigger ones. Imagine the world if everyone followed this one commandment. It would be an entirely different place for us to live. You could walk the streets safely. There would be no abuse, murders, robberies, and there would be a lot less divorce.

If you would like to make the world a better place today, try and follow this commandment. It is so simple to understand but by no means easy to do. He who is faithful in a little will also be faithful with a lot (Luke 16:10). Dare to be different. We can change the world one buggy at a time.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please show me the areas in my life that need improvement. Speak to me in a clear way and point things out things You would like me to change. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
