Romans 12:10 I love the saying humility doesn’t mean thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less. And there’s no better example of this than Christ. From start to finish Jesus, in humility and obedience, always put the will of the Father before His own. Never once seeking His own glory, His joy was… Continue reading February 27th – Romans 12:10

Deuteronomy 15:11
Deuteronomy 15:11 God cares deeply for the poor and the needy and expects His people to reflect that same care and compassion. That means it’s not just enough to simply acknowledge the existence of poverty. We must also actively work to alleviate it by helping those in need. Jesus loved unconditionally, without expecting anything in… Continue reading Deuteronomy 15:11

John 8:12 Following Jesus means no longer do we walk a path of darkness. Nor do we live for ourselves and the world. Instead all we do is for the Lord and to walk in His brilliant light.

1 Corinthians 16:14 Proverbs 16:2 says, “All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the LORD.” Nothing is hidden from God.

1 John 3:11 In the New Testament we are commanded no less than 13 times to love one another. That’s how important it is to Jesus for the children of God to cherish each other.

February 16th – Proverbs 11:17
Proverbs 11:17 There’s no way around it. It hurts when someone mistreats us. Yet while the world tells us to hurt them back, God tells us, “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (Matt. 5:44) Not an easy task on our own. But when our strength comes from God, there’s no limit… Continue reading February 16th – Proverbs 11:17

2 Corinthians 3:18 You may be the only Bible someone reads or the only Jesus they see. That’s why it’s so important to reflect the true nature of God.
