Virtue


Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
                                                                        (Philippians 4:6-8 KJV)

One of the prayers I've prayed over the years is that He would inspire the entire world to be honest, just, kind; just flat out decent to one another for just one minute. Can you imagine the difference it might make if the entire world could do that for just one minute? No killing, no lying, no slander, no anything that would hurt another human being for just one minute would be just awesome. 

That minute will come; I am sure. But; it will not be just for a minute, it will be for eternity. I wait for that day. I think often of what it would be like for all people to treat one another with respect. 

May God bless us all with the desire to live virtuous lives according to His will that we might all live with the peace that surpasses all understanding and that He might be glorified!

God's Peace - Pr. J
