Friday's Living Water

Scripture –

We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.

Rejoice always;

pray without ceasing;

in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5: 14-18

Wednesday's Living Water

Have you tried this? After you have read the passage quietly, slowly, try putting it in a personalized prayer. Place your name right there in the midst of His Word. It may seem difficult at first. It may also bring areas we need to take a look at with His guidance. His Word changes our heart, it changes our walk.

Scripture-

Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
Romans 12: 9-12
