Put Off Falsehood

Where this world is full of falsehood and hypocrisy, the Lord of God reminds us to stay truthful in each word that comes out from our mouth and put off falsehood.
Don’t be contaminated by this world, make a difference and stay in truth. (-fon-)

Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body.
--- Ephesians 4:25


Wrong for Wrong?

It’s easy to do a revenge, to punish everyone who has done wrong to us with something bad. But, will it have an end if we keep doing that? And what is a God’s children task in this world? Keep punishing others?
We need to stand still in compassionate love for others. It’s not easy, of course your flesh wants to keep revenge. But let the Spirit guide us to love our enemies, to love those who hurt us. (-fon-)

And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.
--- 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15


Sparkle!

It’s our duty to sparkle in this world, like jewels in a crown. Like what has been written in the bible:

The LORD their God will save them on that day
as the flock of his people.
They will sparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.
--- Zechariah 9:16


So, if you think that you’re just an unworthy metal that’s rusty. I tell you what, God wants us to shine, to sparkle as His jewels in this world. Don’t see yourself in low self-esteem. God wants you to be sparkling! (-fon-)
