scripture

 

Philippians 2:1-4

If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

thoughts

 

Do I make the people around me better? Do I see that they have fuller potential? Do I help them realize their fuller potential? Do I motivate them towards increases in their faith, trust, and belief in God?

 

prayer

 

Father God, thank You for today.  Thank You for the comfort which we find in knowing You. 

Give us glimpses of You today in all that we do.  May we learn and practice loving You and loving others.

Amen.

scripture

 

1 Peter 3:8-12

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For,  "Whoever would love life  and see good days  must keep his tongue from evil  and his lips from deceitful speech.  He must turn from evil and do good;  he must seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous  and his ears are attentive to their prayer,  but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
