The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. — Philemon 1:25
Have you noticed how words of blessing are in such short supply? There is something about our fallen state that makes sarcasm and ridicule easier to use than blessing. But, in God's family, words are always to be used for the benefit and blessing of others. What simpler or kinder words do we need to use to bless others than these words Paul sent to Philemon? Let's find a way to say them ... and say them again ... and again ...
Questions of Jesus
. On Right
Luke 6:9
And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?”
. On Neighbour
Luke 10:36
Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?”
Ways to Peace
. Through Christ
Romans 5:1
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
. Trusting God
Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Thoughts
. To love another person is to help them love God. - Soren Kierkegaard
. You should accept yourself, not as a master, but as a servant, and then all your bad feelings, your anxiety, alarm, uncertainty, and dissatisfaction will be changed into calmness and peace. You will be filled inside with a clear vision of your purpose, and with a great joy. - Leo Tolstoy
