Memorize and Reflect

We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth. (3 John 1:8)

Prayer Direction

Thank God for two or three people in your life who are examples of faithful service and compassionate love. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you courage to confront Christians you love with honest rebuke if they are out of God’s will…but to do it with gentleness.

“Live It!” Challenge

Spread Some Good Gossip: Think about a Christian you know who really loves Jesus, serves faithfully, and shows humility. Make a point of mentioning this person’s faithful service to random people three or four times this week. See if you can get some good gossip spreading!
