LEVITICUS 19:11 (CEB)
You must not steal nor deceive nor lie to each other.
1 PETER 3:8-9 (MSG)
Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless—that’s your job, to bless. You’ll be a blessing and also get a blessing.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Be outrageously kind in how you treat others.
PRAYER
God, you have been extravagant in your kindness. I confess that I don't always take my cues from you. I've allowed the tit-for-tat sarcasm of the world to seep into my way of handling the rough and tumble of life. Remake me into a compassionate and humble person who truly reflects the life of Christ. I'm going to focus on ways that I can be a blessing in the midst of an unkind world. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
