daily prayer

    Good morning! How are we faithing? How are we to act as Christians? How are we to view things? With wisdom and love that's how. How did Jesus treat who he encountered? He saw a person who was lost, a person who needed peace that only came from God. Heck man, even Paul the Apostle when he was in prison told his captors of the love of Jesus. He didn't even know those soldiers but he had compassion for them and knew they acted without the knowledge of Jesus. We can't expect the lost to act saved and we that are saved shouldn't act lost. People sometimes laugh at my beliefs and it does tick me off at first but the Word tells us to expect persecution and some chiding but we are to learn from it. It will teach us patience, endurance and recognition of the lost. When you feel like you are alone and or surrounded by the enemy, remember your savior is right there beside you. Whatever we encounter we can deal with because we have the truth and would be remiss if we didn't share a belief that is so great and is available to every one.
John 13:35
"By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
NAS

Romans 12:9-21
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and curse not. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.  Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. "But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
NAS
