Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 3 John 1:2 which says "Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul."

"We look to the word of God to see how Jesus lived. We studied His life, we study His teachings, but we also must take time to study how people lived in the days and years after Jesus acceded to heaven. After all, their lives should be examples to us all as we are human and as were they. Don’t get this mistaken, they were imperfect and it isn’t to make a god out of any of them because our one true example is Jesus, but I do think they lived lives that are relatable in that they too snuggled and chose to be Christian even when the world told them to believe in anything but Christ.

 

This opening sentence really got me thinking of those I love around me. We live in such a fast paced society, but we must remember to truly slow dow, and speak and listen to those around us.

 

I pray we are quick to wish them good health, and not to just ask them for favors. In my prayer time today as I was reading this, I was encouraged to write a list of those around me. The circle God has placed in my life. My family, friends, co-workers, and mentors and wish them good health.

 

It encouraged me to strike up a conversation and listen to their needs.

 

I know this year was a crazy one and I bet you a lot of them are walking through a season they probably haven’t wanted to open up about. Everyone is going through something and no one deserves to go through it alone.

 

I hope that you take some time to do
