Love and Honor
In Romans 12:10 we are told to love one another and honor others above ourselves. This is easier said than done. However, it’s amazing what can happen when we do it.

Life be be hard. Struggles surround us, but God goes with us. What do you need to bring to God in prayer, today?
Christmas can bring out our greed and selfishness. What gifts am I going to get? However, Christmas isn’t the only time. Where are you storing your treasures?
Will God aid you as you rob a bank? How about as we gossip? Steal? Tear someone down? No…sort of.
God commands us to love one another, but He doesn’t just give the command, He demonstrated it. Jesus loved us more than we could ever love anyone else and gave Himself for us.
When we focus on the highs and lows of the day, we go on an emotional roller coaster throughout each day. What if, instead, we focused on Jesus and the eternal life He will bring? How would that change how we view the day?
When God calls us to do something, He equips us and goes with us. Often we don’t feel up to it and have all kinds of excuses, but God has more solutions/answers than we have excuses.
When we think about God’s plans, we may think of the plan being perfect according to our idea of perfection. However, we aren’t perfect. God’s plan works even though it works through us…sinful people.
