John 3:30
He must increase, but I must decrease.
John the Baptist had a very important mission, to prepare the way for the Messiah. And once he accomplished that mission, it was time for people to stop looking to John and to start looking to Jesus. Let the echo of his words resound in our own hearts today, that Christ may increase, and we may decrease.

James 4:10
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
If your doctor prescribed you a pill that would always benefit you, you’d probably run right out and get it. Well, God has prescribed an attitude for us to have that always brings us benefits, unfortunately, not many choose to have it. It’s humility. And whenever you humble yourself in His sight, things will always look up.

Galatians 5:14
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Every day, whether you realize it or not, you show love to yourself. You do it by sleeping in a warm house, filling up your belly, and making sure you have clothes that keep you warm. But did you know that’s also what God’s calling you to do for others? And the tricky part is, He wants you to give it to them just like you give it to yourself…freely, without charge, and without judgment. When you do that, you fulfill God’s law of love.

Ephesians 4:1-2
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love…
Paul was put in prison unjustly, and yet he didn’t spend his time being discouraged. He spent it encouraging believers to continue to trust the LORD no matter what circumstance He put them in. And that encouragement is for you too. No matter where He’s put you, walk worthy of your calling.

Psalm 136:1
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.
Thank you! Just 2 little words that oftentimes, we neglect to say to the God of the Universe. Just like the Israelites forgot that God gave them manna every day for 40 years, we forget that He provides all our needs as well. Which means He deserves a very big, very heartfelt thank you for all that He generously gives us.

John 13:34
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
We naturally want to love ourselves first. But in this passage, Jesus calls us to love others like He did, sacrificially and unconditionally. A love not based on the worthiness of others but on the truth that God deems everyone valuable. And it can only happen when we’ve experienced that divine love for ourselves. Only then, will we be able to hand it out freely to others.
