“GOD LOVES YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, not for what you do. Many voices vie for control of your mind, especially when you sit in silence. You must learn to discern what is GOD’s voice and what is not. Ask GOD’s Holy Spirit to give you this discernment. Many of GOD’s children run around in circles, trying to obey the various voices directing their lives. This results in fragmented, frustrating patterns of living. Do not fall into this trap. Walk closely with GOD each moment, listening for GOD’s directives and enjoying GOD’s Companionship. Refuse to let other voices tie you up in knots. The LORD’s sheep know HIS voice and follow GOD wherever HE leads.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. EPHESIANS 4 : 1 – 6
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. JOHN 10 : 4
Prayer: Lord help me to be more humble, more gentle, more patient, making allowances for others faults. Just like you make allowance for my faults. Help me to make every effort to keep peace with others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
