JUST FOR TODAY: Work at your calling with Humbleness, Gentleness, and Patience!!

[Lynn D. Walker]

"I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."  ~Ephesians 4:1-3

JUST FOR TODAY: In Ephesians 4:1-3, Paul begs us to live our lives worthy of the calling that God has given us.  That calling is to have a loving relationship with Him and allow the Truth and Love of His Son, Jesus Christ, to shine for all to see.  This cannot be done with arrogance, roughness, or without patience.  We must overlook one another's faults in Love with humbleness, gentleness, and patience.  It takes a lot of work to keep us all bound together in peace and a oneness of Spirit.  I fear that sometimes we just plain don't want to work that hard and that is a sure sign that we have lost our focus on the Lord.  ~Pastor Lynn
