So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.
Philippians 2:1-2
Lord Jesus, today my soul is amazed at the work that You are doing both in my life and the lives of those around me. In a world filled with uncertainty, wickedness and rebellion, You still are raising up people who know You and love You, who refuse to be pulled into the negativity of the day, but instead are looking forward to Your imminent return. In the meantime, it has been given to us to be the light of this world, reminding all who will listen that You are indeed coming back bringing with You our just reward. Oh, that we all might be looking in anticipation of that great day!
It is my prayer that You would use me to be a source of encouragement, unity, compassion, and most of all love, to all who cross my path today. As I look to decrease, increase within me, that all might see You in my life and be drawn into Your glorious presence. As I try to demonstrate Your love in a tangible way in their lives raise up around me individuals whom I may be able to partner with in this effort to shine a spotlight on Your goodness. Give me the words to say, that actions to do, and the heart to sacrifice that others might know You. Let Your love flow through me into the lives of someone else that we wall might find not only joy but comfort in You to Your glory. Amen.Â
