3 John 1
Scripture
3 John 1:4-64 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 5 Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters,[a]even though they are strangers to you. 6 They have told the church about your love. Please send them on their way in a manner that honors God.Observation
As a parent, verse 4 rung sweetly true; what a gift that would be – the joy of seeing my children walking in truth, living in a way that shares their love (an abundance and overflowing of the God-given love within) and living in a way that honors God.
Understanding
As a parent, verse 4 rung sweetly true; what a gift that would be – the joy of seeing my children walking in truth, living in a way that shares their love (an abundance and overflowing of the God-given love within) and living in a way that honors God. And that starts with living a life of example – not just to our born and adopted children but to those we have leadership over or even just encounter.
Life ApplicationWe have an opportunity to start a ripple effect with each encounter…sharing God’s love with others, living in a way that honors Him, living in truth. People are searching, let us be the answer!God, use me today! Give me your heart for others, may I honor you in speech and in action. In your name, I pray. Amen. -Rei
