1 Thessalonians 1:2-4 ESV  “2 We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, 3 remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 4 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, ... ” What would your life be like if you viewed people from this perspective?

Micah 6:6-8. Nothing matters except what God has told us to do to maintain a good relationship with Him. This is to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with Him and all is well. This is our only mission today. Enjoy your walk today! Also, this morning the reminder is to bless your wife for she is a gift from God. A large percentage of pastor’s wives are quietly serving and many are struggling, at times not even sharing with you! 

John 1:5. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." Be encouraged, Pastor! "Praise The LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.  Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness!"

"Oh Lord, I am oppressed, under take for me!" – Isiah 38:14

Today, Lord, open my eyes to see how You see a person rather than from my often faulty perspective.  May Your perspective when I see it transform how I relate to people.
