Overflowing Love and Grace
The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.—1 Timothy 1:14 (NIV)
An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.—Luke 9:46 NIV
In this verse, the disciples argue over who is the greatest and reveal what God really wants. Rather than boasting about personal achievements and competing with others around you, look to how you can be a vehicle for healing. Rather than wanting to be above others, look for ways that you can be of assistance.
Lord, it’s only human to want to be the best. Instead, I long to be like You, to act on love and to help others.
The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.—1 Timothy 1:14 (NIV)
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.—James 1:17 (NIV)
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.—Titus 3:1–2 (NIV)
