No matter what our natural disposition, it is our duty to cultivate a thankful spirit if we are members of Christ. An unhappy person can have a negative effect on others. It’s miserable to work under or with a pessimist. There is no praise, encouragement, or right. One time, while I was in Aden, I saw a group of Lascars transporting mails.

He saw in the request of the suppliant the same … Read Bible Verses

Matthew 18:21 Devotional On FORGIVENESS

Todays Devotion Prayer Scripture Reading Reflection

Daily Scripture Reading: Matthew 18:21 KJV Matthew 18:21 KJV(21)  Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Today’s Devotional Is FORGIVENESS The four-time limit for forgiveness was taught by the religious teachers of Christ’s time. Peter went beyond this estimate, but he still fell far short of the Divine ideal. Seven was the number of perfection for the Jews. Therefore, no expression could convey more the feeling of eternal repetition, ever-renewing, and unending, than “seventy times seven!” This is a place of comfort for all of us! If God expects us to forgive our brothers, then how can we not count on His forgiveness? This … Read Bible Verses

God’s purpose and will were the only rules of man’s existence, until our first parents made the decision to substitute the pleasure of self with the will and law God. The self-life has been the dominant principle of humanity since that time. The essence of life is self-service. We don’t know the reason for the … Read Bible Verses

We will feel the same if we start with loving and kind actions. People often come to me expressing their … Read Bible Verses

He returned triumphantly to the Father and sat at His right hand until His enemies became … Read Bible Verses
