Verse of the Day: Ephesians 4:15

πŸ‘‹ Good morning, friends!

Let's welcome this brand-new day with open hearts, ready to receive the wisdom and love God wants to pour into us. Our verse for today, Ephesians 4:15, is a powerful reminder of how we should live as followers of Christ.

Verse of the Day

"Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ."

Have you ever considered the connection between love and truth? They may seem different, but our verse today, Ephesians 4:15, binds them together.

Love without truth can lead to blind acceptance, and truth without love can be harsh and damaging. Yet, when truth is spoken in love, it creates a beautiful balance. It prompts growth, healing, and unity.

As we walk through today, let's consider how we communicate. Are we sharing truth in a loving manner, aiming to build up rather than tear down? Are we willing to hear the truth from others, accepting it as an expression of their care for us?

Remember, the aim of speaking truth in love isn't to point out flaws or win arguments, but to promote growth and maturity in our relationships, just as we continue to grow in our relationship with Christ. As we put this principle into practice, we reflect the heart of Jesus, who always embodies the perfect balance of grace and truth.

Today, let's choose to be bearers of truth in a loving manner. Let's choose to be more like Jesus.

Prayer of the Day

Heavenly Father,

In a world filled with so many voices, I seek Your truth today. Equip me to speak honestly and compassionately, emulating the love of Christ in all my interactions. Help me to encourage and uplift those around me, rather than tear down.

May Your love be the driving force behind my words and actions, and let my life be a testament to Your truth. Fill me with your Holy Spirit, and guide me in the path of love and truth.

In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.

Quote of the Day

"Truth without love is brutality, and love without truth is hypocrisy."

A Christian newsletter we highly recommend

A group of Christian millennials think they’ve fixed the news…

It’s called The Pour Over, and it has two goals:

  1. Keep its readers informed about world events

  2. Keep its readers focused on Christ

That means providing politically neutral coverage of events and pairing it with brief Biblical reminders.

The question is… are they hitting the mark? See what you think, subscribe in just one click.
