So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;

Thank you Jesus, for the reminder one morning, a while back, that YOU are all we need! May I be reminded, every minute of every day!
seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
2 Peter 1:3 NASB

God’s Words, will last, for all of Eternity. This world, is passing away. We must put our hope, in something that will last forever. That hope is in God, through Jesus work on the cross, and his resurrection.
1 Peter 1:23-24
23 for you have been a born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.
24 For, “ ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS, AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS. THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS OFF,
25 a BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER.” And this is the word which was preached to you.
Taken from Isaiah 40: 6-8.
Isaiah elaborated on how transitory humanity is: here today, gone tomorrow. People pass away like plants under the hot breath of the withering E wind. James used this illustration to teach the folly of trusting in material wealth ( Jas 1: 10 , 11 ). Peter used it to illustrate the passing nature of everything related to humanity ( 1Pe 1: 24 , 25 ).
Shalom! May God grant you peace, through the power of the Holy Spirit, and through his Word, and through the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, today, and forever.
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,
Romans 8:6 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/rom.8.6/39679
This verse reminds me of the old hymn, “Just a closer walk with thee”. What a wonderful reminder, to walk, hand in hand, with Jesus, moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day, both now and forever!
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
Jude 1:20-21 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/jud.1.20-21/1092
Love one another! Go out and Love on someone today, cause God Loves YOU!
And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
2 John 1:6 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/2jn.1.6.NASB
The Good fruit comes from Faith through God’s Grace. We can not earn salvation, works are, from an overflowing joy, of the Good News of the Gospel. Grace to all of you, today. May we show Grace, just as Jesus, has to us. Not because we deserved it, on the contrary, we deserved eternal punishment, but through his, Grace, and our Faith in Jesus, he has set us free.
So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits.
Matthew 7:17-20 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/mat.7.17-20/39669
We all fall to temptation, at times, but the question is, what are you characterized by? Remember, we have an advocate, for us in Jesus. He took on sin on our behalf, so that we might be seen by God as without sin.
Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.
3 John 1:11 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/3jn.1.11.NASB
The Apostle Paul, reminds the Ephesians (and us), that just as he is a prisoner, there will be costs, to following Jesus. May we count it an honor, to be asked to suffer through something, for his names sake. Father, give us your strength, to go through, what we need to, today. Feel free to share prayer requests, if you need someone to lift you up today, in prayer.
Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,
Ephesians 4:1 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.4.1.NASB
There is always many opportunities to sin, when your mouth is always running. It risks more sin. Wisdom says, to be guarded with our word’s, AND to use them carefully and for good and not evil. May your tongue, be blessed with word’s that build up, and not tear down, and may Jesus be lifted up.
When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise.
