Beautiful reading for today friends :heartbeat: :rose:
''Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. '' 1 Thes. 5:12 :rose:
''Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live
in peace with each other.'' (13) :rose:
''And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage
the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone.'' (14) :rose:
''Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.'' (15) :rose: :rose:
''Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.'' (16-18) :rose::rose:
''Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil.'' (19-22) :rose: :rose:
'' May God himself, the God of peace, santify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless
at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.'' (23-24) :rose: :rose:
''Brothers, pray for us. Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.'' (25-27) :rose: :rose:
reminding me of this scripture: :heartbeat:
''Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with each other.''
Mark 9:50 :heartbeat: :rose: :rose:
What a beautiful reminder to be good to each other and show honor to those who are looking out for out best interests. :heartbeat:
I was thinking as I was reading these verses what an oasis of peace these words are and how soothinig they are. The days can be filled with such hectic activities and sometimes frantic anxiety all around us--yet here within these few verses is a whole other world--a world of peace --and love :heartbeat: It makes me feel very blessed :heartbeat: ...and appreciative :rose:
Have a wonderful evening friends--sending you lots of hearts :heartbeat::heartbeat::heartbeat: and lots of flowers :rose: :rose: :rose:
