| Today’s Verse: But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ. – Ephesians 4:15 In Christ all things are true and without Christ, they are not. Pretty simple right? Well, there is more to it than that. We are created in the image of Christ and He is the example for us all. When people came to Jesus asking for healing or wisdom, His disciples often thought that He should look the other way. When some would have stoned the young woman, He showed her compassion. When we are on social media and people say things we disagree with we tend to jump into the trenches and fight it out. In doing so, we contribute to the “hypocrite” argument, creating more distance for those words of healing to traverse. Why not show love and compassion as Jesus would. When we are in the midst of a storm of struggles, we tend to focus only on ourselves. Why not be kind, and work together with those that could bring that storm of struggles into calmer waters. – Commentary by Matthew J. Elliott Today’s Prayer: Father, I know that I am always going to have to work through things in life. Show me how to embrace them as you would through love and compassion. Guide my path so that I may bring the daily storms of life into calmer waters. Amen. |
