TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

So often, people try to make others fit into their mold and be just like
them. We think, "If they would just change, then I wouldn't get upset. If
they would just do it the way I want, then they wouldn't get on my nerves."
But really, we need to give people room to be who God created them to be.
Life is too short to spend it trying to fix everybody. Sure, we should
encourage people and help them grow and come up higher. But we have to come
to the point where we step back and say, "All right, this is who God made
them to be, and I'm going to accept them the way they are. Just because they
don't have my same strengths, I'm not going to let that frustrate me." We
have to choose love every day because love covers over our differences and
offenses. Love is what allows us to appreciate what others bring into our
lives, and it brings us together in unity.

Today, above all, choose love. Choose to focus on the things that make your
relationships stronger because in the end, love is all that remains.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, today I choose to set my heart and mind on You. I choose
to love others the way You have commanded. Give me the strength to walk in
Your ways and understand Your love more each day. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
