Read Proverbs 17:17
A friend is always loyal,and a brother is born to help in time of need.Proverbs 17:17
A special joy binds two friends who are not reluctant to risk danger on each other’s behalf. If a true friend finds you’re in need, he or she will find a way to help. Nor will a friend ever ask, “How great is the risk?” The question is always, “When do you need me?” Not even the threat of death holds back a friend.
Read Hebrews 10:24–25
Let us think of ways to motivate one anotherto acts of love and good works.And let us not neglect our meeting together,as some people do, but encourage one another,especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.Hebrews 10:24–25
Read Philippians 1:9–10
I pray that your love will overflow more and more,and that you will keep on growingin knowledge and understanding.For I want you to understand what really matters,so that you may live pure and blameless livesuntil the day of Christ’s return.Philippians 1:9–10
Read Colossians 3:23
Work willingly at whatever you do,as though you were working for the Lordrather than for people.Colossians 3:23
Read 1 Corinthians 13:4–5
Love is patient and kind.Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.It does not demand its own way.It is not irritable,and it keeps no record of being wronged.1 Corinthians 13:4–5
Love is not “jealous” or “arrogant.”
Think of these two terms in contrast to “patient and kind.”
Read 1 John 3:18
Dear children, let’s not merely saythat we love each other;let us show the truth by our actions.1 John 3:18
Read 1 Peter 5:10
In his kindness God called youto share in his eternal gloryby means of Christ Jesus.So after you have suffered a little while,he will restore, support, and strengthen you,and he will place you on a firm foundation.1 Peter 5:10
The grace awakening is upon us. And what can you expect upon rising from your uninformed stupor? Here are four foundational truths you can anticipate as you get a firm grasp on grace.
Read Ephesians 4:32
Instead, be kind to each other,tender-hearted, forgiving one another,just as God through Christ has forgiven you.Ephesians 4:32
A person is a product of his or her own thoughts. Thoughts form the thermostat which regulates what we accomplish in life. My body responds and reacts to the input from my mind. If I feed it with doubt, worry, and discouragement, that is precisely the kind of day I will experience.
Going...yet not knowing. Obeying...yet not understanding. Beginning a journey that is unpredictable, risky, untried, and appearing virtually insane—yet prompted by none other than the Lord Himself.
