The Joy of Living
The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.—Proverbs 4:18 (NIV)
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.—2 Peter 3:18 (ESV)
Spiritually, we grow when we learn to remove ourselves from the spotlight and shine it on others. By putting others’ needs in the forefront of our thinking, we become less self-conscious and more Christ-conscious.
Lord, help me concentrate on how I can help others.
The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.—Proverbs 4:18 (NIV)
God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.—Matthew 5:4–5 (NLT)
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”—Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT)
