I learned to be thoughtful, is not a matter of whether you are more right than others; but rather to humble ourselves or humble our rights that we might win love of others. That is to be more desirable because love covers a multitude of sins. This love is so powerful. How little I have known? How wonderful we owe such love to God. How much we should comfort the Lord’s griefs by being thoughtful to others.

We need to be thoughtful of the little things that our mothers, fathers, wives, children and brothers, brothers-in-law, sisters and sisters in law, even nephews and nieces or grandparents have done to us.

We need to show them appreciation that we notice and matter. Not because of what we or they think is right but because of our love. We owe them our love much more than what we understand.

Let us extend our thoughtfulness of our love not based on our righteousness or their righteousness but because we just owe them
love for the little things that mean to us. Yes, because we want to spread this fragrance of love, that is, in Christ Jesus.

Groom this thoughtful love in the heart of your loved ones... I believe anyone who is nearby will know its frangance in Christ Jesus.

Actually, many don’t have the correct idea of perfection.
We should really consider what has been said about perfection :

For it was fitting that He, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. -Hebrews 2:10

So, we whom our Heavenly Father wants to bring to glory — intent to make us perfect through suffering with Christ Jesus.

Many of us rarely understand the weight and burden of this calling. Therefore, we need so much abundance of grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that we may know how to live rightly in suffering and living in His love.

How much love thoughtfulness we need to share with those around us that it permeates every level of our life; this shared life of being thoughtful make life bearable even in the midst of suffering.

Let us share tiny tiny ways to show appreciation of our loves towards our wives.
Wife, may did what they supposed to do ; what we as husband or children need to appreciate at a deeper level of care. We need to cancel those noise of irritation and annoyance to permeate this loving touch of being thoughtful. Not because of their or we who are right, —- what matters — we can share this thoughtful loving little memories that matter.

Let thoughtful loving memories with our loved ones vibrates with frequency because it matters to our hearts. And they will know we are the disciples of the Lord because we bear this fruit of love to our Heavenly Father.

Thoughtfulness is often neglected. In todays life, we're always rushing about thinking about our own needs, however, we can always spare a thought for others. Being mindful of others, and thinking of them, allows them to appreciate the fact you've thought of them.
Its amazing how, just asking how someone is feeling, can lift a burden.

We all need reminding from time to time of this fact.
Thank you for sharing.

Blessings!

Is our God thoughtful toward us ? How do we know that as our Heavenly Father of His great love for us ?
This is what we have heard:

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. -Romans 5:10

Isn’t His reconciliation means that He loves us and being thoughtful towards when we didn’t understand Him and rebelled against Him...How wonderful He brings our loved ones with us to live in this saved life in Christ Jesus.

Let us love the Lord’s great thoughtfulness to bring us reconciliation in Christ Jesus.

How beautiful is His steadfast love of thoughtfulness.

Let us adore Him in true reconciliation spirit.

Who can we say that they are thoughtful towards us?

Aren’t they those who bring every bitter things sweet in your life ?

Can you consider those with selfless love ? Who love you no matter what you think or have said but just love you ? Why ?

It is because they don’t think much of their own righteousness but just love you for being alive and alive to be loved.

This person is just filled with love when He sees you and wants you without sin and be find in His grace.

They are many people with this love whom the Lord place in your life ...when you start to consider their thoughtfulness ... is love.

When you are lonely ! What matters ! Isn’t it not someone who can understand you ?
Who can really understand us ?
Aren’t they our parents? Yet, sometimes they don’t understand us but they love us much.

Isn’t that thoughtful on the part of our parents? Showering us with grace.

Remember when you are lonely! There is grace ! There is love ! There is someone who is or are thoughtful towards us.

Knowing someone out there thoughtful to you ! What it will do to your loneliness?
It soothes the pain !

Can you now see that God is thoughtful toward us through Christ Jesus? He doesn’t leave us orphans but gives the Spirit of His Son.

For this is what we have heard:
And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" -Galatians 4:6

Let us cry Abba Father. let us cry to Him in love. Why ?
This is what we have heard:
He will not leave you or forsake you." -Deuteronomy 31:6

We are not alone but our Heavenly Father is with us, inasmuch, He is with Christ because we love Him much.

We love Him much because in many ways He is thoughtful towards us in love.

Let His steadfast love surround you. Then you will not feel alone but loved much.

Hold that thoughts of love. You are blessed.

Being thoughtful is like being kind.
We need to wear this on.

As we have heard:
Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, -Colossians 3:12

It is a choice that we need to make.
Being conscious of being thoughtful or compassionate towards others !

Sometimes word we may speak may not be much but our intentions — come to others !

Let our continued intentions draw intensity of our desire to be thoughtful or compassionate to others.

Each small thoughtful act, let it grow again and again. Then we are grateful that we owe so much love to others because much opportunities we are given to partake this love.

Let be found in this love and be blessed.
