Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. May we rely on the grace of God and may we be of one mind, sympathizing with each other, loving each other as brothers and sisters, and may we be tender-hearted and walk in humility.

May we remember others in our prayers, may our work be faithful, may our deeds be loving and may we have hope that endures.

When in dialogue with someone else, pay careful, thoughtful attention to what the other person is saying. Truly listen to gain an understanding of not only what is said but also what is left unsaid.

If what I do causes another believer to sin, I will never do it again as long as I live—for I don’t want to cause another believer to stumble.

When hearts break, when pillows are drenched in tears and when darkness seems to loom despite the light in you, anchor yourself in His ever-sustaining grace. 

You cannot add effort to grace because you then reduce grace to nothing. Christ has done it all. We live by faith in the son of God who died and gave Himself for us.

May we come into a place of love for our God, may we walk in His ways and obey His commands, may we be joined together with our King with no room for separation and may we learn what service for our God means.

Your soul prospers when you are feeding your soul the right things. When you are in consistent and constant communion with God. Our Christian walk becomes easier when we focus on transforming ourselves and not conforming to the ways of this world.

There is no better way to get to know God personally than through feasting on His word. He speaks directly to each of us through His word. He is known fully when we let His words dwell in our hearts.

No one else does great and mighty things like our God. Surround yourself with opportunities to hear and see the goodness of God. Be conscious of what you are listening to, and let your heart hear the good news at all times.
