Philippians 4:4-7...Lovingkindness...
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Instructions for Life! Paul was extremely talented in expressing the love of Christ and sharing the gospel message throughout every city that he visited and even in the prisons that he was kept during the later part of his life. He gave instructions of how to preach and teach and how to share the gospel. He taught how important love is in the equation of life and he lifted up praise and gave honor to Christ for all that was being accomplished. Even in his worst moments of life Paul still looked up and looked forward to the opportunity to serve his risen savior. As simple as the instructions above may seem they are true and steadfast. May our love be evident to others, our kindness found in our speech and thanks be on our lips for all that Christ has done and is doing in our lives.
Blessings,
