Let the Spirit change your way of thinking and make you into a new person. You were created to be like God, and so you must please him and be truly holy. We are part of the same body. Stop lying and start telling each other the truth. Don't get so angry that you sin. Don't go to bed angry and don't give the devil a chance. If you are a thief, quit stealing. Be honest and work hard, so you will have something to give to people in need. Stop all your dirty talk. Say the right thing at the right time and help others by what you say. Don't make God's Spirit sad. The Spirit makes you sure that someday you will be free from your sins. Stop being bitter and angry and mad at others. Don't yell at one another or curse each other or ever be rude. Instead, be kind and merciful, and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ.
(Eph 4:23-32 CEV)
“Do all the good you can by all the means you can in all the ways you can in all the places you can to all the people you can as long as you ever can.”
— John Wesley
I am reminded by this passage that we should always be ready to be kind to one another... to every one yes..... but how often are we are we rude to the very ones we live with our "families" It is so much easier to be kind to a stranger rather than our own flesh and blood? I find this somtimes true for me Change my heart Oh God !
