GALATIANS 5:14 NIV 14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Most people understand it’s right to love our neighbor — but many do not realize it’s also God’s will for us to love ourselves.

LUKE 22:19 NLT 19 He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.” Not only were these some of the last words of our Lord Jesus

1 THESSALONIANS 5:18 NLT 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. When you don’t know what to say or do — say “Thank You!” Sometimes we feel like we don’t know what to do. We wonder what God’s perfect will is. Certainly the will

ROMANS 15:7 NIV 7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. We have only two choices, accept people, or reject them.
