My Bible study leader gave her testimony to us. She said she was visiting a cousin and she was so kind, nice, gentle, and loving that she asked her what it was about her that she wanted what she had. Her cousin said “Jesus.” Her cousin then followed up by sending her a Bible.
Lord, thank You for Your perfect word. Thank You that Your Son came and obeyed You perfectly in showing us You. Your love, mercy, gentleness, goodness, justness, lead the way for us in living this kind of life. Lord, in Jesus name help us to shine so that others see Your light in us and come to You.
Luke 6:46 “But why do you call Me Lord, Lord, and do not do the things which I say.”
