Romans 15:2
Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
What of Today’s Verse…
Being depressed and dissatisfied with life can be caused by a myriad of things. But for many of us, these are symptoms that we have focused too much on ourselves and are angry with life. We have forgotten to count our blessings, thank and praise God, and help those around us. This verse addresses the last in this list: thinking of others is just what Christ did. It makes a difference in the life we bless and we also find ourselves immensely blessed.
Let us Pray:
Holy and Matchless God, help me to see the brokenness, hurt, and difficulties in the lives around me, not so I can gloat or feel better about myself, but so that I might bless another with your love and grace. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
To probe deep into your roots: The ignorance and confusion is you yourself. The preconceptions which are yourself are envoys and agents sent by yourself.
So, be quick in doing what’s admirable. Restrain your mind from what’s evil. When you’re slow in making merit, evil delights the mind.
