Don’t plot and scheme against one another—that’s evil.
1 PETER 3:8 (CEB)
Finally, all of you be of one mind, sympathetic, lovers of your fellow believers, compassionate, and modest in your opinion of yourselves.
THE ESSENCE
Care for each other.
DAILY FODDER
How does humility nurture sympathy and empathy in our lives? What is the relationship between those qualities?
PRAYER
Thank you, Lord God, for loving me. As I've grown to recognize how much you care, my life has been changing. I acknowledge that I don't change as fast as I should. I'm not as caring and compassionate as you've taught me to be. Continue to pour out your love so that I can love others in accordance with your love. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
